Bowles Watch

[CardsFan88]

A) 8 of the 12 playoff team HC are defensive-minded

B) I'd dispute this simply based on the team's (players, coaches and FO) support of Bowles couple with his being very articulate. I'm not sure where you were coming from with that one. He speaks better than most coaches.

It's the whisper quiet aspect of his voice. I think that's what he's getting at. Most people tend to agree that a guy with a soft voice doesn't wow you in interviews. Most would also agree it would actually detract from everything else and be viewed as a negative trait.

It shouldn't hurt him, but it most likely has, and many people here hope that this viewpoint reigns supreme amongst those selecting new coaches and we get him back next year.

Nothing. His last job was LB coach in Minnesota. .

Not true, he took a job in the league office.

Here we go.

Report: 49ers ask permission to interview Dan Quinn, Todd Bowles

Josina Anderson of ESPN reports that the 49ers have requested permission to interview Cardinals defensive coordinator Todd Bowles

Not true, he took a job in the league office.

Was he coaching in the league office? I think that is what he was talking about.

Singletary is a disaster as a coach, even Bears fans aren't that dumb.

 

[Southpaw]

Last 4 Jets HCs were Defensive Coordinators first. I don't see them going in that direction again. Bears gripe is that Trestman was too soft and academic. Does Bowles demeanor fit in there. Falcons could be a landing spot for Bowles.

I don't suspect Ryan will be without a job next year. Could be a Falcon.

 

[Zeno]

The Tribune did a list of 23 HC candidates for the Bears and Singletary wasn't among them. Bowles was there of course--I was surprised to see Gus Malzahn on there though.

Looking on the bright side of no first round bye:
If the interviews do get scheduled, Quinn would be available to speak to the 49ers this week because the Seahawks have a bye in the first round of the playoffs while Bowles will have to wait until after Arizona faces the Panthers this weekend.

 

[Zeno]

The Raiders also intend to ask for permission to interview Arizona defensive coordinator Todd Bowles.

The Falcons have interest in New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, sources said, as well as Denver offensive coordinator Adam Gase, and would also want to interview Bowles.

The Bears would like to land an established head coach if possible, sources said, after hiring a long line of first-time head coaches, though Bowles -- whose only experience as a pro head coach is of the interim variety -- is thought of highly there.

If Bowles leaves, how about Butler from Pittsburgh . It's been a 2 good years since we've last heard of him.

Haha! Good one!

 

[Jetstream Green]

Bowles will become the head coach for the Falcons

No raiders for Bowles:

Matt Barrows ‏@mattbarrows 5m5 minutes ago
Cardinals DC Todd Bowles to meet with 49ers in Santa Clara Friday. Raiders have been knocked off his list. 49ers-Teryl Austin meeting today.

If he goes to SF he can rot in football hell!!!

 

[jmt]

Yes regarding the legend---but---the Bears need to figure out how to turn Jay Cutler around and a guy like Mike Shanahan would be far better equipped to do that than Mike Singletary.

Why is that? Shanny is so over rated. I hope he gets hired somewhere!

If he gets a HC job, the Bears or Falcons would be great for him. He better not go to SF.

 

[slanidrac16]

That would be an epic disaster and being that I live in Chicago and would have "front row seats" I would enjoy it immensely.

ME TOO! It's been fun as hell listening to the charade called the Chicago Bears.
Bowles will not get/take the Chicago job. Input from Arians probably be one reason.
Aside from that the Bears are going to hire the guy from KC for the GM (IMO)and he has ties with other candidates.. none with Bowles.

 

[BillsCarnage]

Bowles will become the head coach for the Falcons

That's the best place for him, but the Falcons are bringing back Rex for another interview, so that bodes well for Bowles possibly not going there.

 

[BigRedRage]

chicago just hired GM and GM is interviewing bowles right now.

Who'd they hire as a GM?

 

[dreamcastrocks]

Pace

 

[Jim Otis]

My gut feeling says Bowles will get his first HC gig in a few seasons when he becomes the Az. Cardinals HC .

 

[Matt L]

Reports out of NY today indicate that Jets' consultant Charlie Casserly has Todd Bowles and Jim Mora Jr. at the top of his list.

The Bears want to restore the growl in their defense---and one would think that Bowles will be very much considered for their HC position, provided he have a persuasive offensive plan and input on what to do with or for Jake Cutler.

Some are saying that Jim Mora Jr. is the 49ers top choice---I think Russ has been all over this.

Does Russ like Jim Mora Jr as a coach? I am not a huge fan of him as a coach in the NFL or College Football.

No kidding. Not sure why Mora is getting all this love

 

[BIGRED1959]

Chicago's new GM ryan Pace will want to hire a parcells guy and I don't think Bowles comes from that tree. Look for another obscure hire in Chicago but this time on the defensive side. Bowles will be back in AZ

Why? He's spent his entire carrer with the Saints. Bowles is a Parcells guy, BTW. With the Jets, Cowboys, and Dolphins, I believe.
