It was rainy outside with dark clouds all around, the weather matching the gloom inside the press room at the Jets training facility in Florham Park, N.J., where Todd Bowles was holding probably the last post-practice press conference of his tenure as Jets head coach.
Bowles, a good man who has been nothing but professional, is expected to be fired soon after the Jets play the Patriots on Sunday in Foxborough, Mass., in the regular-season finale for both teams. New England, winner of the AFC East for the 10th straight time, will go on to the playoffs, while Bowles likely will be shown the door after four seasons as the Jets’ head coach.
