Bowles, who won a Super Bowl during his playing career as a
safety with the Washington Redskins in 1988, replaces Rex Ryan,
who was fired last month after six seasons with the Jets.
Before joining the Cardinals, Bowles, 51, spent one season with
the Philadelphia Eagles as a secondary coach and part of the
campaign as a defensive coordinator.
Bowles also spent four years with the Miami Dolphins from
2008-2011 as assistant head coach/secondary coach and went 2-1
as interim head coach after Tony Sparano was fired in 2011.
The native of Elizabeth, New Jersey, was also a secondary coach
with the Cleveland Browns, Dallas Cowboys and Jets.
