Bowness also acknowledged how his wife Judy's health scare in the fall was also a major factor. He joked at the news conference that 'it's your fault' but he also called it 'a life-changing moment.' And everyone who saw how hard the crisis hit the two of them was not at all surprised to see him prioritize their relationship and home life.
"You talked me out of retirement two years ago," Bowness joked to Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff."Judy and I were all set to call it a day then. But if I was going to pick a place to come back to coaching, I couldn't have picked a better place to come back to and finish my career." "To be able to watch him interact with the players, to see how he communicated with the players, to see how he would deliver hard news to players that wasn't something that wasn't going to be popular and just his compassion and his directness, one thing that Bones always was and is he's been authentic."
