As Jets fans know all too well, sometimes these hires pay off, and sometimes ... well, they don't.
Bowles is coming home and taking over in Florham Park: "I can't help but be humbled by the chance to coach this team. I am going to do everything I can to build a consistent winner."
Mariota and Florida State's Jameis Winston are considered the top two quarterbacks in this year's draft. With the sixth overall pick, the QB-needy Jets could be just out of reach.
"I have great respect for him," said former Steelers coach Bill Cowher, who had Gailey on his staff for four seasons. "I think he's a very good playcaller. He knows how to get the very best out of what he has."
The Buffalo Bills' new coach opened his inaugural news conference with the team Wednesday by tapping the microphone and saying: "Is this thing on? Because it's getting ready to be on."
The 51-year-old Bowles replaces Rex Ryan, who was fired, along with general manager John Idzik, on Dec. 29 after six seasons. Bowles was a highly sought candidate after leading Arizona's defense the last two seasons.
Richardson, who has quickly become one of the best defensive tackles in the NFL, had eight sacks, 84 total tackles and 9.5 tackles for loss/no gain during the 2014 season.
While the Super Bowl combatants will be decided this Sunday, this is the hiring season in the NFL. Here's a look at the strengths of those who have either filled positions or are likely to soon.
The difference between this regime change and the countless that have come before it is this time no one can say the Jets weren't diligent or that they didn't think through the hiring of new general manager Mike Maccagnan and head coach Todd Bowles.
Ryan is already a hit in Buffalo. He was even greeted by a giant pizza that said "WELCOME REX" after arriving in Orchard Park on Tuesday.
The Jets have been busy since Boomer and Craig signed off Tuesday morning at 10 a.m., hiring a GM in Mike Maccagnan and reportedly choosing Todd Bowles to be their next head coach.
In the end, possibly waiting another three weeks to hire a head coach was something that the Jets felt was too risky.
The search is over. The Jets finally have a new general manager.
The WFAN host knows that for Gang Green, it ultimately comes down to the quarterback position. And Carton has a solution for his beleaguered franchise. Two words: Peyton Manning.
I don't understand the dichotomy of the Jets fan. At once you wanted to run Rex out of town. On the other hand you're horrified that he's still in your division.
It appears the Jets really want to hire Seattle defensive coordinator Dan Quinn as their next head coach, but it's possible they may have to wait three more weeks before they can make him an offer.
As a Jets fan, I'm supposed to feel ... what, exactly? Bitter? Depressed? Giddy? How about none of the above?
Bills owner Terry Pegula credited Ryan for bringing "a well of experience and enthusiasm" in a statement released by the team.
The New York Democrat will be at Syracuse University Monday afternoon to call on the NFL team to return this summer to SUNY Cortland, 30 miles south of Syracuse.
Quinn must understand two things: MetLife Stadium is not CenturyLink Field. And any secondary he puts together here will never truly compare to the Legion of Boom.
If the Jets have their way, the Seattle Seahawks will lose soon so they can hire their next head coach, Dan Quinn.
The team and the former Jets coach are putting the finishing touches on a contract, the report said.
Rex Ryan's journey to find a job, watching him pinball from town to town, NFL team to TV network, is case in the core competence of pro football. Is there any?
The former Jets linebacker, who is now an analyst for CBS, was an in-studio guest of Boomer & Carton on Friday and offered some unique perspective on what it was like to play for Rex Ryan.
