I'll say this about the HC of the NYJ, To me it doesn't matter if he is called Todd,Bowles, Toilet, Blowes.What does matter to me is a coach that knows what he is doing and is good at it.
The 2015 season with a journey man Qb and one of the weakest schedules that i can remember the Jets went 10-6. Still missed the playoffs.
2016 the wheels completely fell off. From horrid QB play,to terrible game planning and player preparedness. Atrocious from top to bottom. 5-11.
2017,with a roster predicted to win 1-2 game tops. Another career year from another journeyman QB, a young and aggressive defense.I thought good coaching for most of the year. It's still 5-11
This is professional football,no participation trophy's. The object is to win, back to back 5-11 seasons is not winning.
What i'm having a bit of a problem with is Bowles hirings. We state that we need stability. His first OC hire was Chan Gailey, he lasted 2 seasons and retired again. Why? is it he couldn't get along with Bowles? Bowles revamped quite a few coacing positions going into 2017. He interviewed and hired J.Morton, who i thought did a pretty good job considering the talent level on that side of the ball. After 1 season he is gone,why? reportedly he didn't get along with or refused input from Bowles. Bowles came here a a defensive whizkid.For the amount of resources thrown into the defense
it is still lacking.It is time he makes the players on his team, better.Whether their a first round linebacker, a second round QB or fourth round WR. Put them in positions to succeed.
I am optimistic about 2018, depending on the QB,if it's Cousins and they rebuild that o-line.Great. I'll be looking for at least a wildcard. If it's a drafted QB, then steady positive progress is the key for me.Again with a rebuilt o-line.
Bowles has to raise his game. No more participation trophies for him. No more coordinators taking the hit or not taking a hit (Rodgers).Bowles job is etched in wins and losses.
Time to start having more wins than losses.
