A year after joining forces with Tom Brady in Tampa, the Buccaneers’ defensive coordinator, Todd Bowles, could be dealing with Brady twice a year. Again.

According to a league source, the Falcons will interview Bowles next week for the vacant position of chief coach.

Bowles served as head coach of the Jets from 2015 to 2018, generating a record of 24-40. He went 10-6, but missed the playoffs in his first year in office.

Bowles has reunited with Bruce Arians in Tampa for the past two seasons. The team’s defense has become an underestimated strength of the team, given the amount of focus on efforts to take the attack to the next level with the addition of players like Brady, tight end Rob Gronkowski and receiver Antonio Brown.
