You're putting words in my mouth. Bowles and Bates suck, there's a reason Bowles is back as a defensive coordinator and Bates is out of the NFL. Has nothing to do with how good Sam is.
Gregg Williams will never be the Jets head coach. However, it is striking to see how the defense - and in particular, individual players - have gotten better as the season has progressed, while, our offense - led by an offensive genius, a quarterback guru - has only seemed to be consistently bad. That speaks to the difference between a good/competent coach, and a terrible coach.
