of course not . He is the brilliant offensive genius .
Update: Gase NOT going to give up play call duties
- Thread starter gmf1369
- Start date
I just threw up in my mouth.
Later
He never was going to give up play calling.
And he never would have.
And he never would have.
No one in house was willing to become his scapegoat and he knows that no one outside of the Jets would work for him.
Bell was never going to be on this team next year. Not even if Mac were still here. It was a 2 year deal. He was way overpaid. Douglas is hoarding cash for FA's. He couldn't get anything for him via trade and he had a $1 million roster bonus that would have been due today plus his game bonuses . Per Over The Cap, Bell also has $500k in per-game bonuses each year throughout his deal so another $5.5 million in savings. The cut makes financial sense. $6.5 to add to the 80 or so million in cap room next year when there will literally be 5-6 teams with any money to spend at all. Not to mention the injury guarantee for next season. The team is tanking. If not for Lawrence, then for the haul the pick will bring. Cutting him really does make sense. At least in the long term.
Now , Cutting Gase makes perfect sense, that's why it wont happen. The train wreck continues ...
Head for the cemetery !!!!!!
You are absolutely correct about Bell being cut. It was a smart move by JD. I'm just saying that him being cut won't help the team be better whereas cutting Gase would in all probability make an immediate impact on team performance.
I couldn't agree more , I'm just very much afraid Gase is part of the long term plan.i hope I'm wrong .
Damn.....................I hope you're wrong too. He's so into himself that he won't own up to his mistakes even when they are on film. I don't blame Williams for being annoyed at him.
It's the QUOTE From Douglas about sharing the same philosophy on team building. Scares me..
Williams has been as bad and he is back to his old ways. He needs to go too.
I think he is too. back to back 0-16 seasons. how cool would that be?
Not with a new QB in Lawrence. Gase will be long gone ..... The idiot brothers cant keep him and let Gase ruin another prospect. Now if we win a game or 2 and Darnold is back.... then all bets are off on Gase returning
long shot he is gone, under contract for four years expect him back next year is more than likely...
team is in rebuild mode, clearly the veterans on this team are not putting forth full effort... players are not working together the proof is on game day... Joe Douglas is going to have to review who is a keeper and who needs to be replaced...
team has many needs, and I mean many...
Gase was not that good at developing Ryan Tanerhill in Miami and he is not developing DArnell in NY. Maybe a change in ownership will allow for a New, better Coach that the team will respond to.With his offense threatening franchise marks for futility, embattled New York Jets coach Adam Gase conceded Monday it might be time to change the play caller -- meaning himself.
"For the last four years, I've toyed with the idea every once in a while," said Gase, alluding to his time as a head coach. "I mean, I don't think I've ever been opposed to trying something to try to change things up. I'd say everything is on the table at this point."
Whether he actually relinquishes the duty remains to be seen. It's important to note he didn't volunteer the admission; it came in direct response to a question about whether he would consider an overview role as head coach. If he's being forced to make a change, it would be the first sign from management that it's unhappy with his performance.
Despite an 0-5 start, and a 7-14 overall record, Gase always has received public support from the Jets' hierarchy.
"I'm considering everything," Gase said. "I'm just looking at everything and trying to figure out whatever can help us turn things in the right direction. I'll be all for that."
Gase called the plays in every game as the Miami Dolphins' coach (2016-2018), and he was hired by the Jets last year, in large part, because of his play-calling ability. But for the second straight year, the offense is experiencing profound struggles. The Jets are ranked 32nd in scoring (15 points per game) and 28th in total yards (279 per game), averages that rank among the worst in franchise history.
If a change is made, the candidates to replace Gase as the play-caller would be offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains and running backs coach Jim Bob Cooter, a former Detroit Lions offensive coordinator.
As if he didn't have enough challenges, Gase also is dealing with a potential issue with running back Le'Veon Bell, who apparently was frustrated that he had only one target in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. After the game, Bell took to twitter and liked a tweet by a media member that suggested he should be traded because Gase doesn't use him properly.
Gase made it clear he didn't appreciate Bell's method of communication. "I get it in the aspect that players get frustrated when they feel like they should be targeted more, get more touches," Gase said. "There's a lot of guys feeling that way...I hate that that's the route we go with all this instead of just talking about it, but it seems that's the way guys want to do it nowadays."
This wasn't the first dust-up between them. In training camp, Bell was critical of Gase on Twitter after the coach removed him from an intrasquad scrimmage. That disagreement resulted in a long sitdown. Afterward, Bell called it a miscommunication, claiming they cleared the air.
Gase gave a non-answer when asked if they're open to trading Bell before the Oct. 29 trading deadline, saying he and general manager Joe Douglas have only talked about Sunday's game. Gase said he'd like to give more carries to rookie La'Mical Perine, perhaps an indication they'd be willing to move Bell.
Meanwhile, there's an uncertainty at quarterback. Sam Darnold, who sat out Sunday with a sprained right shoulder, is a question mark for Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. Chances are, they will make a decision by Wednesday on whether to start Joe Flacco again.
New York Jets' Adam Gase open to giving up playcalling duties
With the Jets' offensive output hitting franchise lows, Adam Gase said he is open to handing off playcalling duties.www.espn.com
Right Now, the NY J E T S get no respect and the players are obviously not interested in the future of Coach Gates.
it makes many of us yearn for the Rich Kotite who also was a bad coach for the JETS
