We've heard Jets players in the past talk about how coach Todd Bowles can be looser behind the scenes than the stiff version we see in news conferences.
But in an interview with WFAN's "Boomer & Gio" on Monday morning, Bowles showed his more comical side, impersonating coaches who went on famous rants -- Herm Edwards, Jim Mora and Dennis Green.

— CBS Sports Network (@CBSSportsNet) August 20, 2018Bowles said the guarded, no-nonsense personality we see in press conferences is a "piece of me," but added, "There are probably a hundred different sides of me."
The fourth-year Jets coach said he's "very quick-witted and probably very sarcastic" around his players. But he said that when he's speaking publicly about the team: "I'm not putting on an acting show. I'm talking football. So it's as much as protecting your team and understanding your guys as opposed to what you want to put out there."

Bowles said he also knows he's the face of the franchise.
"It's not about my personality or me trying to be seen and outshine the team because it is about the team," he said.
