jamesr Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 6 minutes ago, Anthony Jet said: I don’t know if this is true, but definitely sounds plausible. And if it is true, I’m an even bigger fan of BA than I already was It's what was quoted in the NFL.com article. https://www.nfl.com/news/bruce-arians-retiring-as-buccaneers-head-coach-todd-bowles-to-succeed-him Arians exact words are as follows: Quote I wanted to ensure when I walked away that Todd Bowles would have the best opportunity to succeed. So many head coaches come into situations where they are set up for failure, and I didn't want that for Todd. Tom (Brady)'s decision to come back, along with Jason and his staff doing another great job of keeping the core of this team intact during free agency, confirmed for me that it was the right time to pass the torch to Todd. Assuming that's the real motivation behind this, it's a very stand-up move to make by Arians. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His teams were lifeless, boring, and ill prepared. Any success Tampa has will be due to a talent rich team with a cheating QB who has a different set of rules than anyone else. Good point and sadly he was arguably better than the 2 Jets HC that followed him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he's overcome those and can be successful in this high profile role. Was always a good guy. I came here to say the same thing. I really liked Bowles. He's got a nice roster and the GOAT as QB now along with more experience under his belt. I'm sure he's going to fair well as HC. Also hope BA is OK. He's had those heath issues. I liked him a lot as a HC. All the best for both TB and BA. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom wants to run the offense. Even Arians has said that Brady was more or less the offensive coach of the team and made his job easy. Bowles will let Brady play more of a role in calling the offense and running the offense. This is really a nice match for both Bowles and Brady. They are going to work well together.

So far as bad as Bowles was as the Jets HC, he was the better than both Gase and Saleh. Becton and Mims were doomed to fail. Saleh had nothing to do with it. Kick JD in the ass for that. Also. Despite a major shortage of talent, the defensive was remarkably effective considering. Saleh did a good job with a third string defense.

But there were more games that a poorly staffed defense actually kept the score from getting out of hand, even with a QB that was running for his life most of the time. The Jets got totally hozed down in five games. The rest of them were respectable scores. Keep in mind, you never saw/heard of any locker room back biting or malcontent BS coming from any of they players at any time. You also saw a consistent effort at all times of the season even if they were losing. You also didn't see any procedural penalties on first down or at the beginning of a quarter or a half. No foolish clock management issues. And you never once heard anything immature or jerky from Saleh at any of the pressers. All VERY good indications of a quality top administrator/HC. Saleh is a good man and good HC. The Jets problem has been roster talent. At least it looks like JD is making some progress with the recent FA additions. And once more... I have to say. This will all come down to Wilson. If he emerges as a decent QB, the Jets and Saley will fair well this year. If Wilson sucks, Saleh and the wont be well regarded.

playtowinthegame Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Take a look at that Tampa schedule in 2022...13 wins would be impressive for the Buccaneers. They'll likely go 5-1 in their division, splitting with the Saints. I can see them going 2-2 vs the NFC West and 2-2 vs the AFC North. Then maybe 2-1 vs the other 3: vs Chiefs, vs Packers, at Cowboys. 11-6 seems right 13-4 is if everyone stays healthy and the balls are inflated perfect.

Looking for evidence of Joe Judge or Matt Patricia punting down 2 scores late in 4th quarter with a hopeless nonplayoff team.....thus far...none. Again, as long as Bowles stays out of the offense and Brady stays healthy, not crazy to say it could work. If Barry Switzer could get a Super Bowl title with a super-talented team, could happen again. Not sure Bowles is any good at running a defense based off the playoffs. But part of that is the rules bend so much toward scoring almost impossible to stop a good passing attack. Just stand there coach with that blank stare, and try to stop the other team, OK? Seen people show more emotion opening their phone bill than Bowles has ever expressed on an NFL sideline. Will always recall that dark draft day when Bowles smiled ear to ear as the Jets took 2 safeties, and Adams over a stud QB. That nobody went into the draft room and broke stuff and people is something he and everyone working at Florham Park that day need to be reminded of every goddamn day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varjet Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Kacy Rodgers has been demoted to CO-DC. I guess that is what Bowles meant when he said he learned from his Jets HC experience. Once Brady and Leftwich leave (BL will be an HC), Bowles is toast. I could coach the Bucs to the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
