If Coach Todd Bowles get fired by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the end of this season, here is why Jerry and Stephen Jones should immediately call him in for an interview and offer him our Cowboys D-Coordinator position...
Todd Bowles is famous for running an aggressive, versatile 3-4 base defense, not a traditional 4-3, though he adapts it to personnel, using hybrid looks and heavy blitzing to create pressure, often with big defensive linemen and fast linebackers. While his schemes can resemble 4-3 concepts with four down linemen, his core is built around a 3-4 base with powerful interior linemen and impactful outside linebackers, as seen with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Key Aspects of Bowles' Defense:
Todd Bowles' D would fit perfect with our current players, plus he certainly loves to pressure opposing QBs, allow our players to attack, play much more man-to-man schemes, and plays to our players' abilities. Totally the opposite of Matt Eberflus.

Key Aspects of Bowles' Defense:
- Base is 3-4: He typically starts with three down linemen and four linebackers, but blends it with 4-3 principles.
- Versatility: He emphasizes versatile players to confuse offenses, using different packages like 6-2 fronts with six rushers.
- Aggressive Pressure: Bowles is known for sending extra rushers, blitzing heavily with creative schemes (Cover 0, six-man pressures) to overwhelm the quarterback.
- Interior Pressure: He likes big, strong defensive linemen to clog the middle and generate pressure from the A-gaps.
- Adaptable: He adjusts his defense based on the opposing offense and the strengths of his players, making it hard to pin down to just one formation.
