 true and so is colts HC .

[Derakynn]

 true and so is colts HC .

He is saying the Jets offense is trash and needs massive help. No way would the Colts offense ever be trash with Andrew Luck. The Jets don't have a luxury like him.

Is that how you judge hiring a head coach? 

 

Bowles is proved to be a good leader who makes smart personnel changes.

  blame rex ryan  the geno qb ,lol.  look no good qb, at the time of geno.  next draft get a good qb from it ?

 

Sean Mannion 2015 , jets ,  he big , strong alot skills for the nfl .Mannion has field vision and a nice basis for plus field vision as a pro  too scouting reports.

If there is a good NFL QB there absolutely. The Jets have been without a good QB for a long long time.

[COLTS449]

Very good hire IMO, and a great fit too. If they can get a QB in the draft they could make some noise next season.

[HtownColt]

He'll be the best hire of his hire class

[Derakynn]

it sounds like he plans on bringing in Chan Gailey as OC. If that's true then I think this is a great hire. Gailey did great with the Bills offense during his time as the head coach. Got Fitzpatrick that big contract with his offense. 

[NewColtsFan]

So much for Bowles only being a courtesy interview to satisfy the Rooney rule.

[jvan1973]

That's what offensive coordinators are for

[Qwiz]

Good hire by the Jets. Bowles has plenty of talent to work with.

[amfootball]

This is his first time being a HC, right? Would have thought they would have gone offensive minded for HC.

[MJD42]

I thought they wanted the Seattle DC?

[jvan1973]

I thought they wanted the Seattle DC?

they probably did. But if he turned then down once the Seahawks are eliminated or win the sb, Bowles would have been hired by someone else

[Bluefire4]

They apparently brought in Chan Gailey to be the offensive coordinator. Good offensive mind.

What? I didn't say he's a bad coach. Its a bad hire because they need help on offense not defense

[amfootball]

I agree. Thought for sure they would go offensive. But maybe they think Gailey can handle the O.

[jvan1973]

They didn't hire him to be the OC. He is the head coach. He will hire an offensive staff

People think HCs call the plays or something? John Harbaugh was a special teams coach before he got to Baltimore lol

No but Rex said he had to little involvement with the offense and it showed. As a HC you need to be able to coach both sides and also develop QBs. I am not saying Bowles can't do that but that is the area that was lacking with the last defensive minded coach the Jets hire so it is curious that they hired a defensive guy again.

A head coach doesn't have time to develop individual players, including qb. That's what position coaches are for

So you are saying the HC just hires his guys and then lets them go off and do their thing with no input/supervision?

He has a plan and institutes it with his coaches.

Right so being able to coach both sides is paramount ...

[ColtsConsistency]

On the radio here in AZ, they were saying Boweles may be taking the QB Coach, Freddie Kitchens with him to the jets.

Is it? What was John Harbaighs expertise before becoming a hc? Paramount? really? Putting together a great staff and getting the gm to get you the right playes for the system is "paramount"

[CR91]

They didn't hire him to be the OC. He is the head coach. He will hire an offensive staff

Im not saying he won't, but you usually hire a coach to fix your weakness

[jvan1973]

You do? What was the bills weakness? What if you have a team that is weak in all areas?

Every guy shades one way or the other. Some make great HCs others do not. I would have thought the Jets would have gone for a more offensively minded HC given that is where their issues are. Bowles may end up being fine but I would have rathered gambled with an offensive guy this time around.

So you would choose an inferior mind because he has an offensive back ground? Chan Gailey is a very good OC. I think some owners fall for the flawed logic you are using. . All guys coaching in the NFL are well versed in both sides of the ball. Getting the best guy is more important than going after a guy that can fix your weakness. If that's the case wouldn't your strengths then become your weakness? A HCs back ground has no bearing in how effective he will be as a HC

I was just talking about the Jets specifically given their woes with Ryan. I would have thought they would have went toward offense but indeed Bowles may be the right guy. Of course he has never been a HC before which means he has some growing pains to do in the intense environment that is NY city ...

[CR91]

You do? What was the bills weakness? What if you have a team that is weak in all areas?

and disagreed with that signing as you know. Then you go with the best interviewer, but that wasn't the case with the bills or jets. They had a strength on their teams.

So, hire a offensive guru like trestman. That worked out great

Bowles comes recommended by great football coaches:

“We’re sorry as hell to lose him, but we all knew this day was coming, especially with the job he did here the last two years," Arians said. "Todd and I go back more than 30 years. He was one of my captains at Temple and it was obvious then how special he was. His passion for the game and intelligence are as high as anyone I’ve ever been around. Todd’s been ready for this for a long time and I’m ecstatic for him to finally get the opportunity.”

"I have a high regard for Todd," Parcells said by phone. "I think he's a very experienced coach now. He has a lot of experience coaching in different situations. He was a heady player, having coached against him. I've had direct contact with him in several difference places as a coach. He's a highly intelligent guy and I think he's ready."
