Todd Bowles is a good football man. Hiring him to coach the Jets in 2015 made a lot of sense, and was widely endorsed by A-list pals including Bill Parcells.
But his time is almost up now, with the only remaining intrigue being whether he is dismissed before or after the season mercifully ends on Dec. 30 in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
It’s a pity, for Bowles and for Jets fans who hoped for better, especially after his first 15 games were such a huge success. Then came that mind-boggling, playoff-blowing loss to the Bills on Jan. 3, 2016, and it has been mostly downhill since.
