First of all, that's simply not true. To say he's not good after only his SECOND year is crazy. He's had a bad year like most coaches have had.

He hasn't had a plethora of riches at the QB spot. (actually, neither did Rex). He went with the guy that had played out of his mind last year. If Geno was still available he'd be playing

Chan Gailey's been an issue, but not THE issue on offense

Coached up in only his SECOND YEAR EVER? Come on

This is crazy


The biggest issue with Bowles is that he's too loyal. He was loyal to Fitzpatrick (as most of the team was), and he's loyal to his defensive coordinator.

Fitzpatrick and the secondary (Revis in particular, and I'm a Revis fan) have been the issue. It's execution. We have a QB that LEADS THE LEAGUE in red-zone picks. So Bowles schemes are good enough all the way down to the goal-line and then he's not good? Or is it because Fitz sucks ass this year.

To hang this year on Bowles is not fair at all, especially when the QB is the biggest issue, followed very closely by a HOF CB who got old very very fast.

This is like the Rashean Mathis situation in Tampa all over again. After a great year, the 2nd year they struggle and he gets canned. It's bullshit
