NEW YORK, N.Y. - The New York Jets are close to an agreement with Arizona Cardinals defensive co-ordinator Todd Bowles to make him their head coach, according to two people with knowledge of the negotiations.Bowles told ESPN in a text that he was taking the job, but the people told The Associated Press that no agreement had been completed as of late Tuesday night.The people spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been finalized.Its heading there, one of the people said, and it could be completed as early as Wednesday morning.A few hours after hiring Mike Maccagnan as their general manager, the Jets were closing in on signing the 51-year-old Bowles to replace Rex Ryan, who was fired, along with GM John Idzik, on Dec. 29 after six seasons. Bowles, a highly sought candidate after leading Arizonas defence the last two seasons, had a second interview Tuesday with owner Woody Johnson and consultants Charley Casserly and Ron Wolf — along with Maccagnan — and apparently impressed the Jets enough to move forward.The team cancelled a scheduled interview with Carolina defensive co-ordinator Sean McDermott that was set for Wednesday. Bowles also called off a second meeting with the Atlanta Falcons for their head coaching vacancy that was scheduled for Wednesday.It was believed that Seattle defensive co-ordinator Dan Quinn was the front-runner for the job, but teams arent allowed to meet with him again until the Seahawks are eliminated or during the bye week before the Super Bowl. Instead of waiting for Quinn, the Jets brought Bowles back and worked to sign him to a deal.It will be a homecoming of sorts for Bowles, who is a native of Elizabeth, New Jersey. He also served as the Jets defensive backs coach under then-coach Al Groh during the 2000 season.Bowles played defensive back for eight seasons in the NFL, including starting for Washington in the Super Bowl in 1988.With the Jets, Bowles will inherit a solid defensive front seven — which was always Ryans primary focus — with rising stars in defensive linemen Muhammad Wilkerson and Sheldon Richardson. The secondary, however, needs a major overhaul.After several stops as a coach at the college and pro levels, Bowles was hired as the Miami Dolphins assistant head coach and secondary coach from 2008-11. He served as the teams interim head coach for the final three games of the 2011 season, going 2-1 after Tony Sparano was fired.Bowles went to Philadelphia in 2012 as the Eagles secondary coach, but was elevated to defensive co-ordinator when the team dismissed Juan Castillo. After that season, Bowles was hired as Arizonas defensive co-ordinator.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Connor Williams Jersey .

Hes the same player he always was, only now his efforts are being rewarded. The rookie manager has made a habit of heaping praise on others when things are going well, and accepting criticism when they arent. But in the case of Hurtado, its what the coach is NOT saying that may be the secret to a superb run of form. http://www.cowboysrookieshop.com/Michael-Gallup-Cowboys-Jersey/ .

Dorance Armstrong Jr. Jersey . The San Antonio Spurs handled the conditions, and the team, and it sure helped when a suffering LeBron James couldnt make it to the finish.7. Teague one handed three pointerTheres something to be said about having the nerve to go up and take a shot from downtown late in a close playoff game, but what is there really to say when that shot is one handed? Teague answers that question with a simple Jordan like shrug of the shoulders.6. Josh McRoberts Dunks over BirdmanWhats the best way to handle getting dunked on? Just simply walk away as Birdman does after Bobcats power forward Josh McRoberts shows him which one of them can really take flight.5. Vince Carter Buzzer BeaterAlthough this buzzer beater by Vince Carter brought up some bad memories for Raptors fans, its still a necessary inclusion. At 37 years old, Carter shows why hes still a threat on the court, and why the Raptors have shown interest in bringing Vinsanity back to Toronto this summer.4. Lillard Tomahawk JamWow. This clip features Lillard throwing down an insane tomahawk jam with his opposite hand. One can only hope we get to see a little more of Lillard in next years post-season, as the playoffs seem to light a boonfire under him.dddddddddddd3. DeRozan Left Handed DunkWhile the Raptors valiantly represented what the North side could do in the playoffs, DeMar De Rozan showcased what he could do with his South paw, throwing down a vicious dunk. Its never easy losing a game 7, but you just have to believe the Raptors are in good hands with DeRozan at the helm, no matter which hand he decides to jam with.2. Stephenson FlopWhile the other top plays on this list are actual "top" plays, this flop play was too good to exclude from the list. Stephensons egregious flop happened only a couple of days ago and has already sparked a massive meme movement called "sleepy Stephenson." What can we say, we love the arts.1. Lillard Buzzer BeaterBefore this years playoffs who knew Lillard was this cold blooded? Not only did this three pointer clinch the game, it clinched the series. The Trailblazers playoff run may have been a quick flash, but with Lillard leading the charge, expect the North-Westerners to shine bright next season.
