Firing Todd Bowles Pushes New York Jets in the Right Direction
The New York Jets made the only move they could by firing Todd Bowles after Sunday's embarrassing 38-3 loss to the New England Patriots.
They regressed under Bowles' supervision from a 10-6 start in 2015 to 4-12 three years later. His dismissal places the Jets in a better position going into the 2019 offseason.
Some assistants just don't have the makeup to be NFL head coaches. Bowles fits the bill.
The former defensive coordinator is a creative mind when not asked to shoulder the responsibilities of an entire franchise. He crumbled when asked to lead the organization, and it showed with the on-field product coupled with off-field issues.
