Well, the Arizona Cardinals lost a valuable part of their coaching staff. Defensive coordinator Todd Bowles will now be the head coach for the New York Jets.
Based on the reactions of his players here in Arizona, you can tell he was greatly admired. Check out these tweets from the players:
Great two years with one of the best in the game. Congrats Coach Bowles jets are lucky to have him represent them.

Coach Bowles is a very smart coach. 1 of the smartest coaches I've been around. Has a very similar scheme 2 Rex so the defense won't change

Not everyone reacted so happily. This one is from Darnell Dockett:

I am sure he is happy for Bowles, just not happy for himself.
I'll keep this updated as more players tweet about the move.
