Todd Bowles is finally getting his second chance as a head coach. After Bruce Arians unexpectedly retired Wednesday, Tampa Bay named Bowles — Tampa’s defensive coordinator for the last three seasons — the team’s new head coach.
This time, expect it to go much better than the first time. Bowles, a former defensive back with the Washington Redskins, coached the New York Jets from 2015-18, where he went 24-40. Many coaches have struggled to win with the Jets, so it was a matter of time before Bowles received another opportunity.
Bowles and Arians go way back. Arians was the head coach at Temple, where Bowles was a four-year starter at cornerback.
