Jets Hiring Adam Gase as HC
January 9th, 2019 at 7:56 PM ^
I live in NY... those rumors lasted a day... one single day.... pesky, they were not.
January 9th, 2019 at 8:19 PM ^
Also, unfortunately, a NY resident.
I can confirm, not pesky at all.
This is a very Jets move, too.
January 9th, 2019 at 8:59 PM ^
So now the Jets have Gase..... probably like they did when Rex was coaching, i imagine he was pretty gassy,
January 9th, 2019 at 7:57 PM ^
Wonder if Gase was plan A for lions as the OC...
maybe Pep is plan B?
January 9th, 2019 at 11:48 PM ^
I don't care if he is plan C, D, OR E, will someone fucking hire pep so we can get a real OC!!!
January 9th, 2019 at 7:57 PM ^
This also means the lions dream to hire him as OC is also over
January 9th, 2019 at 7:57 PM ^
Pesky? I hadn’t head that rumor since before Christmas.
January 9th, 2019 at 7:57 PM ^
this is a good hire
January 9th, 2019 at 8:03 PM ^
Those rumors lasted maybe 24 hours. Probably not even. Harbaugh came out the next morning and explicitly stated that he was not interested and wasn’t leaving.
January 9th, 2019 at 8:04 PM ^
Guess that means Mike McCarthy won't be coaching anywhere this upcoming season unless he wants to be a coordinator.
January 9th, 2019 at 8:29 PM ^
I’d say McCarthy should be our OC but not spread enough and too old - wouldn’t stop our board from their emailing Harbaugh yahoo articles
January 9th, 2019 at 8:08 PM ^
Thought it was john Wayne gase, he'd be a killer hire.
January 9th, 2019 at 8:51 PM ^
Stop clowning around.
January 9th, 2019 at 8:08 PM ^
Guess the Lions can bring McCarthy on as OC now that Gase isn't available. Maybe he could then hire Pep for a position coach on the offense. One can only dream!
January 9th, 2019 at 8:12 PM ^
The NFL is proof that people are in charge of things solely because of ....errr, uhhh reasons
January 9th, 2019 at 8:30 PM ^
And everyone wonders why the Patriots win the division every year...
January 9th, 2019 at 10:49 PM ^
The ineptitude of the non-Patriot teams in the NFC East has been a huge edge for New England. They might not beat any of the AFC playoff teams on a neutral field (although the Texans with O'Brien find ways to underperform), but they get the 2 seed and at least one home game because they get a bunch of freebies against the dregs of the NFC East.
Bill Belichick and company are a very well run organization anyway, but when you add in the comparison factor to the shit around them it's like watching Amazon compete against Sears.

We've now seen the Jets fire Rex Ryan only for the Bills to hire him. Then the Dolphins fire Gase only for the Jets to hire him. It's like they're not even trying.
January 10th, 2019 at 10:26 AM ^
At least Sean McDermott knows he has job security in the AFC LEast! Gase is vastly overrated and another in a long line of J-E-T-S Jets jets jets failures.
January 10th, 2019 at 12:38 AM ^
Ummmmm
should we tell him?
January 10th, 2019 at 5:42 AM ^
No...lets just pretend it didn't happen and we didn't see what we thought we saw.
January 9th, 2019 at 8:45 PM ^
Let's put a name with that old rumor, shall we? It was Mike Florio, of something called "Pro Football Talk." I love this post of his, which reports the move by the Jets without a word of acknowledgement of what a stupid rumor he floated a few weeks ago.
I tried to email Florio before the New Year, asking him to please bet me $100,000 that Jim Harbaugh would be coaching at the University of Michigan next season, and not the New York Jets. Funny thing is, he didn't get back to me.
Maybe all of you will have better luck in getting a response from him. Please share your feelings by emailing him at:
Edit.: Florio says he stands by the original story. He says it was 100% accurate. That is to say, the story was nothing more than that the Jets might like to ask Jim Harbaugh if he was interested in the job. And of course that was my bitch from Day One. That Florio, when he was inevitably shown to have been wrong, would retreat to the position that all he was ever saying was that the Jets would ask to speak with Harbaugh.
That's a shitty story, even taking Florio at his word. I don't think that this enterprise ever got past some people talking about it. I expect that the Jets never had an offer, or even an outline of an offer, for Harbaugh, and of course that no such offer was ever communicated. I expect that Jim Harbaugh never once spoke with anyone from the Jets, full stop.

Rutger is giving osu all they can handle on the hardcourt...... fwif
January 9th, 2019 at 10:28 PM ^
please hire pep as oc
January 9th, 2019 at 10:28 PM ^
but, but 4 years?!
January 9th, 2019 at 10:33 PM ^
I thought he was suppose to be the new OC at MSU?
/s
But for real tho, I did see a RCMB post about it during one of their meltdowns

I am not a Jets fan (Giants and Pats), but if I were, I would not love this hire. The Jets had a choice between a relatively stable, experienced, solid and low-floor guy in MCCarthy and a higher-risk candidate in Gase. If he works out, he could be a great hire, but given his record at Miami, he could also be gone in 4 years.
If I were the Jets - always in flux, never stable, and constantly in rebuild mode - I would have gone with McCarthy, just to steady the franchise, get the team to respectable (and stable) and legitimize the team as something other than a clown show. Maybe he turns out to be great, but if not, when he leaves, they are in a better place (in what will likely be a very weak division over the next few years).
