Bowles gets head start with Jets

Published

on

The New York Jets have yet to officially announce the hiring of Tood Bowles as their new head coach, but it appears that he’s already putting together a staff.

According to ESPN.com, Bowles was seeking Miami Dolphins defensive line coach Kacy Rodgers to be his defensive coordinator.

The 45-year-old Rodgers has worked for the Dolphins since 2008 but before that was a member of Bill Parcells’ Dallas Cowboys coaching staff along with Bowles.

Other media reports have identified well-traveled Chan Gailey as Bowles’ top choice for offensive coordinator.

Multiple media outlets reported Tuesday that Bowles, the Arizona Cardinals’ defensive coordinator, agreed to replace Rex Ryan as the Jets’ head coach. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Bowles is receiving a four-year contract.

Bowles, 51, spent two years guiding the Arizona defense. Before that, he was the Philadelphia Eagles’ defensive coordinator in 2012. He had a stint as the Dolphins’ interim coach in 2011, winning two of three games after stepping up from his duties as secondary coach.

Previously, Bowles worked on the coaching staffs of the Jets (defensive backs coach in 2000), Cleveland Browns and Cowboys.

A safety in the NFL from 1986 to 1993, Bowles played for the Washington Redskins and the 49ers after being undrafted out of Temple.
