THE NEW YORK JETS are close to an
agreement with Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator Todd Bowles to
make him their head coach, according to two people with knowledge of the
negotiations.
Bowles told ESPN in a text that he was taking the job, but the people told the Associated Press that no agreement had been completed as of late last night.
A few hours after hiring Mike Maccagnan as their general manager, the Jets were closing in on signing the 51-year-old Bowles to replace Rex Ryan, who was fired, along with GM John Idzik, on Dec. 29 after six seasons.
Bowles, a highly sought candidate after leading Arizona's defense the last two seasons, had a second interview yesterday with owner Woody Johnson and consultants Charley Casserly and Ron Wolf - along with Maccagnan - and apparently impressed the Jets enough to move forward.
