    Bowles is a surprising choice. I figured Leftwich was the successor.

    With Leftwich and Brady, you have to wonder if Brady made Leftwich or vice versa and since Brady was already made.....

    You know Brady had a hand in this. I never thought the two got along. Tampa also has the most minority coaches and 4 black head coaches in teams history. I thought Leftwich would have been the choice as well since he came back

    I did a thorough debunking of Leftwich when he almost took the Jags job, so I don't think he's great, but he seems like a better fit than a defensive coordinator who failed in New York.

    Could be right, not sure why they went this route, not sure why Ariens is giving it up.
    Brady have something to do with it you think?

    He's always struck me as the type of coach who cares more about the perception of it "not being all about him" than the reality of it not being all about him. Those are the most irritating people in the world. Either be a no bullshit guy like Andy Reid or an open narcissist like Sean Payton.

    Bowles probably deserves another chance since he failed the same way every other jets coach has since y2k: defensive success bolstered by free agency followed by being pulled down by the offense.
