Buccaneers defense coordinator Todd Bowles spent four seasons as head coach of the Jets before being fired with a 24-40 record, but he said the lack of success did not lead him to question his ability as a coach. .
Bowles said he knew he was a good coach and that you “just keep going” towards those who feel differently. Many people praised Bowles when the Buccaneers moved to the top of the NFC this year, but Bowles maintains that it did not shake him beyond criticism.
“I feel no salvation,” Bowles said via Brian Costello of the New York Post. ‘I’m harder on myself than anyone. If you do not win games, you get criticism. In this sport there will be ups and downs. You have to stay the course and stay who you are. You trust your coaching and the people you have taught. I stuck to it, and everything worked out for me. ‘
Bowles got a few head coaching interviews before all the jobs in this cycle were filled and said he ‘would like to have the opportunity again’, but all his attention is on stopping the Chiefs for now.
