Hours after hiring Mike Maccagnan as general manager, the New York Jets reportedly decided upon their next head coach: Todd Bowles.

Multiple media outlets reported that Bowles, the Arizona Cardinals’ defensive coordinator, agreed to replace Rex Ryan as the Jets’ head coach. Bowles confirmed the news in a text to ESPN’s Josina Anderson.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Bowles is receiving a four-year contract.

The Atlanta Falcons and San Francisco 49ers also expressed interest in Bowles for their head-coaching vacancies, according to media reports.

Other Jets candidates reportedly included Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott, Jets running backs coach Anthony Lynn, Seattle Seahawks assistant head coach Tom Cable, former Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone and San Diego Chargers offensive coordinator Frank Reich.

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 Miami 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 Dallas Cowboys.

A safety in the NFL from 1986-93, Bowles played for the Washington Redskins and the 49ers after being undrafted out of Temple.
