GreenWhite Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 By all accounts Hoover was a nice man considered a great humanitarian , but came off terribly in the press. He also was dealt a bad hand being elected on the eve of the great depression and made things worse. Hoover is a perfect example of the type of guy who can excel in one area, but does not have the requisite leadership skills to be in charge. After Hoover came FDR so maybe good things are on the horizon for the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playtowinthegame Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/nyj/coaches.htm Look at that list of head coaches, and who does Bowles most compare to. Todd Bowles 2015 - 2018 60 GAMES: 23-37 W-L%: .383 Playoffs 0-0 Bruce Coslet 1990 - 1993 64 GAMES: 26-38 W-L%: .406 Playoffs 0-1 Bowles is a hair worse than Bruce Coslet. Bowles would have to finish the last 4 games of this season 3-1 to tie the "great" Bruce Coslet's 26 win total after 64 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about the Hoover comparison but I will say that Bowles seems like a classy dude and it's unfortunate that he failed pretty badly here. I hope he does well as a DC in his next job (as long as it's not against us). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is part of the reason I don't like going to NFL football games. It's not just Jet fans btw. There was a very recent video of Steeler fans doing something like this too I think.
