This is more my preference but he is defensive minded. The offense hasn't been the issue but the defense needs a major turnaround. Not sure how I feel about it if it happens.

I’m with you if we hire him, wonder the staff he’d have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how I feel about it if it happens. That would be an awful hire. I don't mind them going for someone with experience but it has to be at least good experience. He was a dumpster fire for the Jets after his first season. I think this would be an absolutely awful hire. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionArkie Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) I think he is going to be the hire as well. I will hate it if it happens. ***Edit*** I think it will be one of these 3. I am thinking it will more than likely be Bowles, but would not be surprised with Bevell either. I think Lewis is more of an outside shot, but more likely than an up and coming rookie coach.

I think this would be an absolutely awful hire. He was bad, but the level of dysfunction and lack of talent the Jets have since the Afc championship runs has been probably worse than us. A second chance could be warranted. Look at Bill B.. His run in Cleveland was ho hum, and he went on to become the greatest coach in the history of the game. No one saw that when NE first hired him... It was some of the same things people say about any former HC who didn't have a good first run. Not saying Todd is my preference, just offering some perspective I suppose. All that said, I think Bev gets the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB went 11-5 in his second to last year in Cleveland and was such a good assistant under Parcells that NE was willing to part with a first round pick for him. His defensive genius was identified, Cleveland just gave up too early. Also he is the exception, not the rule. You get a lot more Adam Gase or Chip Kelly situations than BB situations. Every coach that got a second chance and succeeded had done something worthwhile between to improve their resume (Pete Carroll) or had a decent enough first run to deserve another (Andy Reid, Jeff Fisher) Jim Schwartz has done far more to earn a second chance than Bowles who led Tampa to a 28th ranked defense in his first year and top 10 this year but with additions of talent that makes it easy.

Karnage84 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 TODD BOWLES COACHING CONNECTIONS Name guys at Bowles' various stops. OFFENSE Todd Haley (2x) - Coaching HS Ken Whisenhunt - Not currently in football Freddie Kitchens (2x) - Giants TE coach Andy Reid Doug Pederson - ex-Eagles HC Matt Nagy Chan Gailey - ex-Dolphins OC DEFENSE Mike Nolan (2x) - Ex-Cowboys DC Bruce Arians Chuck Pagano Mike Zimmer BRUCE ARIANS CONNECTIONS Bowles and Arians are pretty well connected. Guys that have connections to BA could wind up with TB. John Pagano - Broncos OLB Coach Vic Fangio - Broncos HC Ken Whisenhunt - Not currently in football If we connect some of the dots, a future staff could look like: GM - Brad Holmes HC - Todd Bowles (57) OC - Doug Pederson (52) RB Coach/Run Game Coordinator - Freddie Kitchens (46) TE Coach - Ken Whisenhunt (58) DC - John Pagano (53) LB Coach - Mike Nolan (61) This is likely quite optimistic, or as optimistic as one can be with a Todd Bowles led team.

Like, that’s the biggest name available. Who knows if it will work out for him in the NFL or not, but if there’s anything this team needs, it’s to be on the national radar. It’s to be in a headline. Every time someone needs to be hired in this organization, it’s an under the radar, boring name. Make a damn splash! Might not work out but gahhh!!!! At least try! Not upset at all. I think he will succeed in Jax but only because it's set up to be Ohio State of the NFL. That team in a year will be loaded with talent. I honestly think he's better recruiter than coach. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BZski Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I am hoping for Dan Campbell to be hired as HC at this point. Bowles or Lewis would be terrible hires IMO. I trust Speilman though, which Dan Campbell seems to be cut from the same cloth as CS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowles or Lewis would be terrible hires IMO. I trust Speilman though, which Dan Campbell seems to be cut from the same cloth as CS. Lewis at least had some sustained success, with Andy Dalton at QB. Obviously not great, but more to work with than Bowles. I dont want either but if they hire experienced, I am fine with Lewis but would prefer Doug Pederson. I am hoping for Staley at this point. Dan Campbell could be ok too. Pretty much I am not optimistic and assume we will be right back here in two or three years anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many HC candidates left that look appealing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
