Todd Bowles on notion that there is tension between Jets GM Mike Maccagnan & him: “There’s never been any tension with me or anybody else in this building.”

RTFA. It's clearly an assumption by the writer.

There is no tension when you have no accountability at all.

I want to see the NFL step in and make the johnsons sell the team.

I don't think so.

Gee whizz Mike was just trying to make people happy. It's not his fault. I know this isn't coming from the coaching staff.

I'm NOT waiting another 1 to 3 years for the Jets to fire that spineless red headed clown just because Woody is off playing politics. If not this franchise is nothing more than pathetic enablers.

As Gauling as this is to say the GM with the most back bone as far as his relation to the coach of our last 3 gms has been Idzik.

Ownership. Chris and/or Woody. Woody is in London, with a video conference away from dictating anything he damn well pleases. I love how this whole London thing makes people think Woody is completely hands off now, likes it 1870 and we have no technology of video, internet, and handheld communication lol.

Yeah Chris does the day-to-day and will continue to do so...but if you think Woody has no say in big decisions, then you’re being naive. 

I'd be willing to bet Woody isn't making decisions on whether Darnold starts or not.  A part of his agreement to take the job was that he would have to give up control of the Jets.  Same reason Mac is staying this year.  Woody is not about to let CJ conduct a whole FO re-build with him in London.

There is nothing  to this. Mehta wrote the story claiming there was a rift between Bowles and Macc, without a single thing verifying it. One of the posters here, who is obsessed with getting Macc fired, has been posting about the “dissension” ever since as if it was factual. Mehta just left it hanging out there until he needed a story, then asked Bowles about it to give the rumor legs. Bowles denied it completely. Of course, this won’t matter to a lot of people here, because nothing much does to them unless they get to say one or both have to go.

that should pretty much guarantee him never getting another head coach interview.

I think we are way past that point already ? Only the idiot Jets ownership ever thought he was HC material

I was reading on ESPN via Reddit about how the Dolphins surprised the Pats one year with the wildcat.

Bowles makes an appearance to say...

(Paraphrasing when he saw wildcat in practice): Coaches came up with things and I reacted by saying "What is this??".

A play used in college to some success and this guy's reaction was "What is this??"

I feel Todd at this point is on his own and management including Macc are  just waiting for season to end so they can move forward without Todd and his entire coaching staff.  Todd did not do enough with what he had had to work.  Same issues year after year.  Todd let alot of people down.

I am very pessimistic about what type of coach they are going to replace Bowles with.  I think he will be better than Bowles, right?   I am not seeing any of the top candidates coming here.

Manish is the worst.

[Jetmech]

that Manish a little attention whore and that we can never trust a single thing he writes.  He's a twerp in the most classical sense.

Not defending Manish but the original story did state their relationship was professional, basically what Bowles stated.

Also, no mention of Bowles acknowledging the heiarchy.

The second story seems to put forth that Mike was a pushover and made picks suggested by the coaches....

I predict that Bowles will refuse to start Sam to make a point which will force ownership’s hand to fire him after the Bills game. That’s if there is truly a rift between them as it does appear. 

I have a feeling he may do something similar. But I expect him to start and be put in unwinnable situations all day. Maybe even handing the ball off on every down.. Bowles wanted the 2 bad performances of Darnold to linger while McClown made the Jets competitive and it has backfired in the worst way possible. His stubborness that this is not on him will force him in his mind to make some statement.

No downside for the league for the Jets to suck. This isn't Boston.

Neither Mehta nor Bowles are very credible. Mehta is a hack, and Bowles wouldn't notice the other team playing with 14 players, let alone any animosity Mac has.
