Is Adam Gase already on the hot seat? It would be tough for owner Woody Johnson to retain the second-year head coach if the Jets complete their tenth consecutive season without a playoff appearance, Manish Mehta of the Daily News opines. The Jets are obviously fond of Gase, but Mehta believes that Johnson – who will return to his New York area home later this year – wouldn’t be able to ignore the cries for a coaching change if the Jets finish 6-10.
More on Gang Green:
- Jets GM Joe Douglas is also set to enter Year Two and Ralph Vacchiano of SNY turned in an early report card on his work thus far. Among his highlights: shipping Leonard Williams to the Giants for third and fifth-round picks instead of losing him for nothing, bolstering the offensive line, and landing Denzel Mims in Round 2 after a bold trade down the board. Of course, it hasn’t all been roses. Douglas’ messy battle with Kelechi Osemele and the ill-fated Ryan Kalil deal were listed among his demerits. Vacchiano also questions the Jets’ lack of receiver options heading into 2020. This offseason, Douglas watched other teams acquire Stefon Diggs, DeAndre Hopkins, and Brandin Cooks. Instead of trading for one of those stars, the Jets signed Breshad Perriman to replace Robby Anderson.
- It’s become abundantly clear that the Jets are far from sold on Brian Winters as their starting right guard. Based on what he’s been hearing, Brian Costello of the New York Post believes that new addition Greg Van Roten will wind up as the team’s top RG. With that said, Costello notes that the Jets love Winters’ toughness, so it’s possible that he could avoid getting released this summer.
- Speaking of the interior line, former Bears Pro Bowler Kyle Long says the Jets have not talked to him about coming out of retirement, despite last week’s rumors.
Gase, unlike the players, has a guaranteed contract. He could care less if he’s canned. There will always be OC’s positions available or college HC positions as well.
I think it was last season when he commented (paraphrasing) ‘I’m rich as f…..k’.
HC coaches on the hot seat mean they go from $3-4m annually to $1-2m annually. Unless they get another HC’ing gig.
A lot of the issues in NY was made up by Mehta and claims sources. That comment was from a burner account he claimed as Adam Gases which was later found out it was his. Most recently he claimed the Jets wanted Kyle Long and he said they never have spoken to him. The reason Mehta has such a hard on for Gase is when Gase came in he fired every source Manish had and removed the GM who was also one of his sources which then made his articles even more inaccurate then they normally are.
His twitter account as in Mehta not his as in Gase.
Mehta is the National Inquirer of New York Jets football
If Winters isn’t even projected to start, it defies all logic that he’s still on the roster
They make my Raiders appear to be a well oiled machine
Lmao no
Jets won the last meeting against the Raiders 34-3…lol.
Douglas has done an amazing job. Gase isn’t on the hot seat.
Mehta is trying to drudge some crap up because he hates Gase.
End of story.
Which of Zach’s stories about Kyle Long is correct?
It’s Manish- read and believe the opposite
I also think every Jets coach for the past 30 years lasted at least 3 season except Ritchie Kotite who went like 4 and 28 in his 2 years. Al Groh quit after one year to go coach college and Belliceck quit after 3 minutes to go coach Drew Bledsoe.
My biggest issue with Gase is he’s the first coach since Kotite to not have a winning record in his first year.
I like Gase. 7-9 record, a core that is starting to come together, got rid of a GM that signed the bad Bell contract, etc. However, anything less than an 8-8 record this season would be a considered a failure.
Winters reportedly going to be cut, time to update…
