[size=35]Jets hire Cardinals defensive coordinator Todd Bowles as their head coach[/size]
The [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] will still be a creative, blitzing, difficult defense to prepare for, even without Rex Ryan.
The Jets landed Todd Bowles, the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] defensive coordinator who has been in high demand since Arizona's season ended. He was considered one of the top available head coaching candidates and interest was high. The Atlanta Falcons also sought a second interview with Bowles, but the Jets got their second interview with Bowles first, and didn't let him leave without the job.

Bowles' defenses in Arizona the past two seasons were known for being very aggressive, with many creative blitzes. Despite an offense that had three different starting quarterbacks, Arizona went 11-5 and got a wild-card spot in a competitive NFC. Arizona allowed 18.7 points per game, the fifth best mark in the NFL. Bowles was interim head coach for the three games with the 2011 [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] after Tony Sparano was fired, and Bowles went 2-1.

There is talent on that side of the ball.
The problem is offense.

Now that teams don't have Bowles as an option anymore, the others with vacancies might start to move quickly to get the best of the remaining candidates.

The best that can be said about the new GM and Coach is that they are both from New Jersey. It should give them both added incentive to do well working in their own neighborhood. Other than that, there isn't much to get excited about yet.

It's also good news that the Jets will have a new scouting department.

At this point, when we are talking about the Jets, any change has to be looked upon as positive.
