FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – The last few weeks have provided a loudspeaker on Todd Bowles’ deficiencies, both real and imagined. But as players worked to empty out their lockers — a day after the end of another disappointing Jets season, and a day after the end of Bowles’ four-year tenure — it was the coach’s one indisputable virtue that was the focus.
Many players liked Bowles, and many liked playing for him. And though his legacy here will be one of failure — he went 24-40 — more than a few people were sad to see him go.
