Thai Jet Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Detroit has requested an interview with Tampa DC Todd Bowles according to PFT. The request was made before Saturday's game so Bowles can interview now that it's done. The Falcons also apparently will interview him this week as well. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varjet Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 The Jets and Lions, two teams owned by members of the Lucky Sperm Club, tend to operate similarly. This is very predictable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyLV Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 In our case Woody was always looking for the next Parcells. Funny thing is that Tampa's defense was not that great yesterday. It was the WFT defense that cost them the game not their offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully , if he gets a second chance, he'll do so. Especially on offense. Football is an emotional sport, just wish, for his sake, the "Cigar Store Indian" showed some. Even a little. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetster Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Bowles is a terrible head coach but if Saleh doesn't want the job or gets hired by someone else, no good proven coach wants that job. No assets, no cap money, aging QB that hasn't won anything, complete dumpster fire ? with very little chance of early success. Jets job with JD, 18 picks, 4 firsts, next 2 years, a tradable Darnold, 100 million is a solid B+ location with a chance. Detroit is a clear D- with most likely being a solid F when all is said & done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let a nobody QB stay in the game well into the 4th quarter. At a complete loss why anyone would want Bowles as HC spare the Rooney rule.

Arians came out and said that "some of the younger defenders might have relaxed with Alex Smith out". Makes sense. I gave Washington ZERO chance without Alex Smith but Heinicke played a fearless game and almost pulled the upset. All week Arians was saying "we're not playing a 7-9 team. We're playing a 4-1 Alex Smith team. Human nature to let up a bit with Smith out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Cowbell Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I think it's pretty obvious that Bowles is not the kind of HC that gets players to over-achieve. He had mediocre talent on the Jets and similar results. On Tampa he had better players and had better results. He needs to be a HC of a ready made team, not one that is building. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His overload blitzes got figured out pretty quick. Take away his time with the Ravens who had a D full of HoF players and he hasn't much of a resume to look at.

Bowles is personally a very good coach! The problem is that Bowles had the WORST staff in the NFL by far! BY FAR!! And a poor staff counts as far as you being a quality HC in the NFL and why Bowles had to go here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good coach can squeeze a few extra wins out of a roster. Vince Lombardi doesn't win 8 games with this year's Jets roster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
