After 4 years without a playoff appearance and an overall 24-40 record, the New York Jets have fired head coach Todd Bowles after finishing the season tied for last in the AFC at 4-12.
"I would like to thank Coach Bowles for his dedication to the New York Jets for the last four years," Jets CEO Christopher Johnson said in a statement. "After carefully evaluating the situation, I have concluded that this is the right direction for the organization to take. I would like to wish Todd, Taneka and their family only the best."
It should be noted that in Bowles first year with the team, the Jets finished 10-6 while narrowly missing out on that playoffs, the only winning season in his tenure. It is the team's 8th straight year without a playoff appearance, tied for the third-longest active streak in the NFL.
"We just haven't gotten it done," Bowles said last week, "the record says it all."
