House Resolution No. by Representative Taylor commends Todd Bowles for his significant contributions as both a player and a coach in the National Football League (NFL). Born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Bowles had a successful collegiate career at Temple University before being drafted by the Washington Redskins in 1986. Over his eight-year playing career, he primarily played safety and was part of the team that won Super Bowl XXII. Following his playing days, Bowles transitioned into coaching, starting at Morehouse College and eventually moving up to various NFL teams, including the New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, and Arizona Cardinals.

Bowles's coaching career includes notable achievements, such as serving as the head coach of the New York Jets from 2015 to 2018 and becoming the head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2022. Under his leadership, the Buccaneers won Super Bowl LV in 2021, marking a high point in the franchise's history. With a coaching record of 54-68 and three division championships from 2011 to 2024, Bowles is recognized for his defensive strategies and player development skills. The resolution expresses the Louisiana House of Representatives' admiration for Bowles's accomplishments and wishes him continued success in his career.
