PHOENIX — Bruce Arians has no doubts about Todd Bowles’ ability to turn around the Jets. But the Cardinals coach made it clear that it takes more than just a competent head coach to build a winner.
“I mean, you’re only as good as your players,” Arians said Wednesday at the NFL annual meeting. “And right now, he’s got to find a quarterback.
“But as far as toughness, [being] able to teach and being extremely bright, you’re not going to find anybody better.”
Arians’ relationship with Bowles dates back to the early 1980s when he was coaching Bowles, a safety, at Temple University.
