Say that the Jets have a solid year and Darnold is looking good. If Bates ends up as a HC candidate do you think the Jets would do what the Bucs did and bounce Bowles? To me Todd is in a tough spot, its obvious that the team is now looking to build around Darnold as opposed to his defense.
Here'a a novel idea, how about our next coach be somebody that has been a coach before and actually has a decent track record? Maybe Payton if he gets fired after this year.
I do think things could go very wrong for Bowles over this season..and it wont be the unit all eyes will be on.Folks understand the offense is under construction & some slack will be granted But If this defense continues to underperform & look like the same old crap weve seen since his arrival he could be gone.All the the resources poured into it,the lack of accountability for his staff(Rogers) & the total dismantling of the team’s strongest unit over a 3 year span..it could get ugly.
Too funny..I know Todd Bowles has few supporters but Bates has done NOTHING yet as our OC! A lot can happen of course in the course of a Season..so we will wait and see I am of the opinion we need an EXPERIENCED HC...problem is the good ones don't want to work for the Jets and/or the Johnsons IF we our forced into a desperate search AND Bates has the Offense setting records...well you got my vote Jethro ...Mac can give him an interview..
I can't stomach another season with between 5 and 7 wins. I need to see the Jets make the playoffs in order to keep the coaching staff intact. As for Bates, he can take a hike no matter what if the Jets are ending the Todd Bowles era.
The good news is with Darnold already on board and a boatload of cash available next offseason, the Jets will be a very desirable place for a HC next season.
Jeremy Bates has as much of a chance of becoming the Jets HC as Norman Bates! With our luck he'll start wearing wigs, dressing in his mother's clothes, and start stabbing players in the shower! This thread is beyond Schottenheimer for Head Coach dumb! By the by, a Heimerdinger here again, what is the Jets obsession with Nazis! Leon Hess would not like this! Best Jew I ever met!

I'm not sure because remember Woody hired both and now Woody is in exile though obviously still involved to some extent. I'm curious as to what would happen if say Chris Johnson wants to fire Bowles after this season but Woody wants to give him another year
