I voted CONFIDENT, but not sure how true that is from my heart. Kinda feels like he is not going anywhere, anytime soon, so we NEED him to get it all figured out. I will choose to be confident that he can do so.
I started out the year giving him the benefit of the doubt, despite his record as NY HC. About mid-season, I petered out a bit, voting little, then last few weeks voting None. He’s had this year to prove himself (yes, Joe, I KNOW he didn’t get to hand-pick his assistants…) so because of his handcuffing by some unknown and unnamed tyrant, I give little confidence for next year.
Why? His defense has lost us 2 consecutive years in the playoffs. The D is his “baby,” and he let us down. Not even trying to address the offense this year, and in that regard, happy to give him a pass.
Sorry for the droll and drab monologue, but I’m channeling my inner stoic, dull Coach.
Those ‘un-picked coaches’ of Bowles won a SB & made it to the NFC championship game last year. THIS year with Bowles running the show, look at the results. The Bucs will be lucky to win 6 games next season!!
I completely agree with D-Roc. It’s like he wrote the comment with my head. I can’t forgive many things he has done but MAYBE he will pick a good staff? I think he was given too
thick of a slice of steak to chew but I hope he can chomp it. My hope is pretty weak, though.
I vote “little confidence” as opposed to “no confidence” since each day that passes makes me believe we are stuck with Bowles next season and I gotta hope we can win some games.
I agree. If I vote Little Confidence, which I did, it means it’s POSSIBLE improvement will occur next year. Conversely, if I vote No Confidence, No means None which means there is no hope whatsoever for our team next year.
As an optimist, I prefer Little Confidence. It’s not a death sentence but not exactly a ringing endorsement, either.
Let’s face it, Coach Todd Bowles is not a national delight, but mayhaps he can reverse course and make us all believers?
Here we have the OC Coaching candidates so far. The Jags and Bronco’s passing coordinators/ QB coach. Where are the experienced OC”s lining up to work with Bowles? Crickets so far. And more silence to be expected. Little confidence sounds about right.
I don’t have a ton of confidence, but I also think the man was dealt a losing hand with the offensive staff. Arians’ ankle biters couldn’t stand on their own two feet after he quit holding their hands.
It was all snake oil Bruce was selling.
I’m fine with Bowles getting another year, so long as it isn’t another year pandering to Brady’s wishes. The offensive staff hiring decisions should have nothing to do with Brady.

Heard a report today that Bowles still could be on the hot seat and Sean Payton Would team up with Brady, maybe after Bowles requested an offensive coach at the broncos to interview for OC the glaziers finally had enough

Move on, lame duck / make or break. Who’s going to want to be his OC?

He’s simply not HC material.
Prove me wrong, Todd.
January 24th, 2023 at 2:46 pm
I have absolutely no confidence in our scaredy cat head coach fixing our offense
RIP no risk it no biscuit 🙏

It’s over. They kept Bowlzo. Nothing will save them now. Kaput.
January 24th, 2023 at 3:17 pm
These polls are adjusted about as well as BL adjusts offenses. Confident he can rebuild a team? Confident he can hire a good OC? Confident he….?
January 24th, 2023 at 3:19 pm
What positive has Todd done warrant confidence?
Everyone knows he is just a place holder this season….
GONE by 2024!

Perhaps you missed the headline? “Confidence Poll.”
Confidence polls deal with confidence.
January 24th, 2023 at 3:34 pm
Just relocate the tram to Munich now, Glazers. Figure out the rest later. Suspend operations for a few seasons.
Don’t embarrass us with a Toad Blowes team of inept disinterested underachievers quarterbacked by Kyle Trashk.
Save us and yourselves the humiliation.
January 24th, 2023 at 3:46 pm
Fire Todd Bowles so you can find out he is not considered prize head coach material
January 24th, 2023 at 3:47 pm
Kellen Moore as the new head coach
January 24th, 2023 at 4:01 pm
Zero, zip, zilch, none, nada, non-existent
Laughable really, how could anyone have confidence in the Bowles led dumpster fire we just witnessed for the past 4 months
Lovie Smith thinks Todd is a solid coach, that’s about all….
January 24th, 2023 at 4:19 pm
ouch…
I imagine this is largely consistent with the fan base perspective — 90% low to no confidence
that doesn’t sell tickets
perhaps there may be more coaching turnover to be seen

January 24th, 2023 at 5:16 pm
So only 9.44% have any confidence at all in Todd Bowles.
TAKE NOTICE, GLAZERS.
January 24th, 2023 at 5:39 pm
I’m confident he should be no where near a team locker room.
January 24th, 2023 at 6:19 pm

If there were a choice more negative than “no confidence” it would have won in a landslide.
Joes – next time try “Raging Dumpster Fire” as an extra option.
