Surprise: Jets players don't respect Adam Gase

HalCHorn wrote:The turning point for this franchise was giving Gase the boot after '18.  For two decades we kept coaches (with the exception of Sparano, who was OK, *bad* coaches at that) around at least a year too long, often (in Wanny's case) two years too long.  But we fired Gase, when much of the NFL media was saying we were foolish to "make him a scapegoat".   (Many writers kept making excuses for Wanny in '02, '03 and '04 also)

But giving Gase the boot not only started the rebuild in earnest, we were lucky enough to stick a division rival with this knucklehead.  Couldn't have worked out better.

"Our guys work way too hard to go through this s---," said a disgusted Adam Gase.

Gase didn't make a convincing defense of Williams, who is given total autonomy to run the defense.

Gase might still work for the Jets next year selling concessions in the stands!

Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II says he pleaded with head coach Doug Marrone to put him back on the field after he was medically cleared from a thumb injury late last month.

Yet Marrone opted to go with veteran Mike Glennon against the Cleveland Browns, and he's still sticking with Glennon this week even after his three-turnover performance against Minnesota last Sunday.

Marrone started rookie Jake Luton for the next three games but a four-interception performance in the Jaguars' 27-3 loss to Pittsburgh spurred Marrone to make a change. Although Minshew had begun throwing again before the Steelers game, Marrone opted for Glennon.

"Obviously, I wasn't happy about that call," Gase told reporters, explaining the decision to dismiss Williams with four games remaining.

Gase second-guessed himself for not calling a timeout when he heard the call in the headset. But he noted that he never overruled one of Williams' calls. Gase gave him autonomy to run the defense, saying, "I hired Gregg because I trusted him to make the right calls and run the defense."

Still, Gase admitted, "I wish I would've called timeout, but I didn't."

Gase didn't address the move with the team as a whole, saying he spoke individually to a few players. Nose tackle Folorunso Fatukasi said, "Dang, we're all kind of like ... it's hard to explain because we have a ton of respect for Gregg Williams. We know this a tough business, but we have to figure out a way to move on."

Quarterback Sam Darnold declined comment, saying, "[we] didn't know what to think of it. That's something that's above my pay grade, so I'm not going to necessarily sit here and talk about why he was let go."

New York Jets coach Adam Gase was so "pissed" about the last-second loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday that it sent him and his coaches into a "funk."

On Wednesday, Gase called it one of the toughest losses of his coaching career, admitting it has been difficult to move past it.

Gase didn't have any team meetings on Monday or Tuesday.

"Doing the virtual meetings, that's probably the one thing that's annoying, because our guys help the coaches pull you out of the funk because those guys come in here with the energy they need to come in here with, and they're ready to go. That helps more than anything."

Asked if he was in a funk after the game, Gase said, "Yeah."
