Seeing articles and comments that Bowles is first to have 2nd coach interview (and would be with GM). 
Also heard Ryan as another top cannidate. Not sure reality. 
Not sure what to think of Bowles.

Wasn’t he a finalist when they hired the so-called fixer…?

I really don't want a retread defensive minded head coach. We've done that the last 8 years. No Quinn, Morris, or Bowles for me

Top 3 Run D 6 times.
Top 9 Scoring D 6 times
Bottom 4 Scoring D 4 Times
Bottom third pass D 4 times

It's going to be one extreme or another with Bowles.

I am concerned, as he came in 2nd last time. So this was 2nd for Speilmans criterion, so more the same of Zimmer IMO

Patrick Peterson said on his podcast that he'd be more likely to re-sign with the Vikings if they hire Todd Bowles as head coach.

Bowles was Peterson's defensive coordinator in AZ during his 2013 All-Pro season

I have a hard time believing the Wilfs would consider him after reviewing his time with the Jets, it would be a serious disappointment if he was really being given any kind of consideration.

Same...  hard to judge someone based on being part of the Jets dysfunction, but that record is an eye sore.  If we hired Bowles, it wouldn't move the needle for me.  Would feel like a lateral move from Zimmer (at best).
