In Buffalo, Rex Ryan was not given a third season to right the ship. Apparently, they’re a little more patient in New Jersey. Todd Bowles will be brought back for the 2017 season, a well-placed source tells Gary Myers of the New York Daily News.

This has been an ugly season for the Jets in all facets of the game, including defense where Bowles is said to be a guru. Fans have been calling for Bowles’ head for the last couple of months, but it sounds like the Jets will instead focus on personnel changes and possibly changes on the coaching staff.
This spring, GM Mike Maccagnan will have to figure out the team’s future at quarterback after Ryan Fitzpatrick failed miserably in 2016. Fitzpatrick is a goner, Geno Smith is likely done in New York, Bryce Petty is an unknown quantity, and rookie Christian Hackenberg is too green to even take the field in this Sunday’s meaningless contest. That will be one of many holes to also address while the front office is hampered by some ill-advised deals, including Darrelle Revis‘ bloated contract.
He’s a good guy, but it’s time the jets hit the reset button and start over. Coach, GM, and new scouts. Trade what you can for draft picks. It’s not like they’re just a player or two away from contention.
Couldn’t agree more. Load up on day 2 draft picks and mold a core together. I don’t care if Bowles stays for that, but that’s what they need to do. They are always half assing it and never commit to a rebuild fully, which leaves them in the rotation of .550 to .500 to .350 type seasons year after year. Not good enough for super bowl so might as well start from ground zero and make it work. Let Bowles or the new coach pick its roster and not get thrown into someone else’s mess. And let the thing brew for a couple years without going nuts right away when there are struggles. Also, no more divas please. These guys are such punks. Why is it mainly football where there are these divas that cause all this controversy in the locker room. Just be professional and do your job.
