Bowles began his coaching career with the Miami Dolphins and worked his way up to being the team's interim head coach. He then moved to the Philadelphia Eagles, where he became the team's secondary coach. He would then go on to be the defensive coordinator at the Arizona Cardinals.

New deal for Todd Bowles
Todd Bowles has gone up in everyone's estimation, not least among Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans, ever since their defense neutralized Patrick Mahomes in last season's Super Bowl. Hence, it was not surprising to see him awarded with a new deal.
The deal makes him the highest-paid defensive coordinator in the NFL, and is set to pay him $3 million per year, as reported by NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. It replaces the final year of the existing agreement that he had. The numbers behind the deal are not surprising, considering Todd Bowles is widely regarded as future head coach material for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He has previous experience in that role. Additionally, he is intimately familiar with Bruce Arians' system.
An idea of how important he is to the current team can be found in various players' reactions on social media and cold-hard statistics. Before joining, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were last in the number of yards allowed in the previous decade. He has since made their defense among the top ten in the NFL.
With returns like that, it is hard to argue with giving Todd Bowles a new deal!
