Jets set to fire Todd Bowles after season finale against Patriots
The New York Jets plan to fire head coach Todd Bowles, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Saturday.
The 4-11 Jets wrap up the regular season Sunday against the New England Patriots.
Bowles’ tenure started with promise. After being hired in 2015, he led the Jets to a 10-6 record, though they missed the postseason. Things went downhill quickly from there, however, as the team went 10-22 between 2016 and 2017 before this year’s lackluster campaign.
Overall, Bowles went 24-39, pending the outcome of the Jets’ Week 17 matchup, during his tenure in New York.
Things came to a head this season after a Week 10 blowout loss against the Buffalo Bills, who were starting third-string quarterback Matt Barkley.
Even after yesterday’s horrific loss, my understanding is that any possible changes coming to the #Jets would be based on a decision made after the season, rather than during. That is the expectation. Decisions won’t be rash.

While reports emerged that the Jets wouldn’t address Bowles’ future until the offseason after that stunning defeat, there was enough talk of the coach eventually being fired that it felt like an inevitability.
