Adam Gase

Some New York Jets fans get chills down their spines when you bring up the 2020 season. The team started out a brutal 0-13. Head coach Adam Gase infuriated the Gang Green fanbase and was mocked on a daily basis by the New York sports media. Let's face it, the Jets hadn't won a Super Bowl in 50 years and 2020 seemed like rock bottom. Well, at least they would get the top pick in the NFL draft, right? Not so fast, in true New York Jets fashion, they pretty much screwed that up on December 27th of 2020, against the Cleveland Browns, a haunting game for a few reasons.

When I first posed the question "Did the New York Jets Get It Wrong Again?" to a long time Jets fan, he immediately responded, "Which "it"?" At first, I was a bit surprised that he didn't know I was referring to the team's number one draft pick in April, Zach Wilson. Then I realized, he knew. He was just making the point that Gang Green fans may be reliving 2018 all over again.

To me, the comparison to Sam Darnold is important. I have said it time and again, Sam Darnold was at a disadvantage with Adam Gase as his head coach. I am not trying to be funny. Sometimes there are bad head coaches. Gase was one of them. At the same time, Darnold made enough head scratching plays to make you wonder if the Jets missed on him. Given the track record of former Jets General Manager Mike Maccagnan, it wouldn't shock anyone if he selected a bust to be his franchise quarterback.

The less than shocking news that Adam Gase is no longer the head coach of the New York Jets comes as a relief to many fans of Gang Green. Just hours after the end of yet another disappointing season for the Jets Chairman and CEO of the Jets Christopher Johnson made the news official on the team's Twitter account.

I have a list of coaches I'd love to see take over for the New York Jets about a mile long because any name that isn't Adam Gase is a name I like. So why in the world am I saying that Rex Ryan needs to return? I'm saying it because he has a true passion for the franchise and if coupled with the right offensive coordinator I think he could really excel in the post Bill Belichick era of the AFC East.

It's pretty easy to see that the New York Jets Le'Veon Bell marriage was doomed to fail. Bell was signed to a big money four year $52,500,000 deal by then GM Mike Mccagnan against the wishes of HC Adam Gase. Mccagnan is now unemployed, Bell has been released and signed with the Kansas City Chiefs and Gase is coaching on borrowed time. So why do I see a way that Bell could rejoin the Jets in the not too distant future?

My support of New York Jets' Head Coach Adam Gase seems to be at best misguided at this point. I was really hoping he'd be one of those guys that just because he didn't get great results elsewhere it would click for him here. The Jets are 0-3 with the lackluster Denver Broncos coming to town next week. If "Gang Green" loses to the Broncos the next "winnable" game on the schedule would maybe be in 2021? I hate calling for anyone to lose their jobs but Gase and the Jets clearly aren't working and it has to be time to start looking at other options. Here are a few candidates that If I were Jets GM Joe Douglas I'd have on my shortlist.

The ongoing battle between the New York Jets and their star Safety Jamal Adams is well documented and doesn't seem to be anywhere near an end. In the latest battle between Adams and Gang Green, Adams turned his venom towards the head coach, Adam Gase. In an interview with the New York Daily News, Jamal Adams questioned if Gase was the right man to lead the Jets.

Jets Head Coach Adam Gase is officially out of excuses

This weekend when the New York Jets arrived in Jacksonville to play the Jaguars some people were curious if they would actually "show up". One of those people was none other than the owner of the Jets Christopher Johnson. Johnson doesn't do a ton of interviews so sound bites from the Jets' owner are tough to come by but thanks to a Jets fan we can see just how unhappy CJ is.

The Jets are a bad football team, and head coach Adam Gase needs figure it out

The first year of the New York Jets under Head Coach Adam Gase will have way more talent and options on offense then Gang Green has had in some time. QB Sam Darnold is entering his second season and the Jets added both Le'Veon Bell and Ty Montgomery to their backfield.
