if bowen still has a job with this team next year....

 

Unfortunately, I'd be absolutely shocked if he doesn't.

 

Not even exaggerating...I think it's more likely that I'm the back-up QB next year than Bowen getting fired/let go. And I cannot scramble like I used to.

 

I think it's more likely he gets promoted to DC than fired. He is Vrabel's BOY.

I really, really, really hope he doesn't fall down the same path that Mularkey did

You can't assemble a staff with your drinking buddies and win a super bowl. You need to assemble a staff with actual coaches.

Arthur didn't have that much of a resume himself when he got the promotion. Because like Bowen, it's not an outside hire, but a promotion, and it was clearly not done on resume. That being said, I am a little skeptical too.

Art had about ten years of NFL experience

But none as a play caller, and Bowen has 5. That's not ten years, but it's definitely not nothing. People have earned coordinator jobs with less in the past, and some have worked out alright.

Bowen is probably a "smart guy."

I am by no means taking up for him, but sometimes you have the right call but the guys just fail to execute. Like when you double Davonte Adams and both guys let him go by him. lol

Not the DC fault if nobody can rush the passer. 

DC fault is that players at times seemed to have no idea what they were doing. 

lol

I bet Bowen is back as DC. lol

I wouldn’t be shocked that he is

I always use Byard as the example 

I get people have down years but man Bowen turned him into Jonathan Joseph 

One of the Browns TDs they gave up early had me worried about Byard, Butler passes his man off because it’s zone Byard makes a beak on an invisible guy and just looked like he was thinking and not playing and seemed like he did that a lot this year

A Bowen promotion would give me very little faith in Vrabel’s ability to learn from his mistakes.

We need improvement, not a shuffle.

A Bowen promotion might be fine if we hire a new OLB coach who can focus solely on being a position coach and Bowen can focus solely on being DC.

I wouldn't love it, but it would be better than what we had going on this year. Of course our defense was so bad it would also be hard to be any worse... 🤷‍♂️
