The Curious Case of Adam Gase

[Derek Smalls]

Not sure what’s worse the Gase argument or the Rex argument

Honestly, I prefer Rex arguments at this point. I think we've had pretty much every conceivable Gase argument over the last 5 months, and I am so sick of it. Plus, the Rex ones are easier to ignore.

Rex > Gase

Rex > Gase

YES. Combine the two and we've got a whole new argument, although I can't imagine that there are many who would rather have Gase.

Who do you think is a better coach?

The combination of Rex and Gase or the combination of Mangini and Bowles?

That should keep us going for 10 more years

Mangini HC / Bowles DC > Rex and Gase in either combination.

Mangini HC / Bowles DC > Rex and Gase in either combination.

Agreed.

It's amazing how well Mangini's tenure aged in retrospect.

Granted, if Gase truly is the offensive mind he is billed to be, I could change my mind later, but Gase needs to prove it.

Bowles and Rex as DC's are about the same for me, though obviously Rex is more fun.

I think our offense will be hopping this year.  More talent signed, a ton coming back from injury.  Same offensive and defensive scheme for 2 years in a row for a change.  Sam having consistency and making the 3rd year jump.

I'm positive.

I am positive too, the Jets offense will be better....... It can't get any worse.

Bring back Mangini

[CatoTheElder]

The point where I lost all hope in Mangini being a successful coach here was when he thought waving Gholston’s combine numbers was a solid motivational tactic.

I don't remember that.

But as a side note - Gholston is viewed as the poster child for workout warriors. I don't think that's fair at all. The guy was a monster in college. He had the Ohio State single-season sack record, which has only been broken by Bosa and Chase Young. He was a top-20 pick well before the combine if I remember.

I'm actually stumped by this.

Gax vs Bowgini

[dcm1602]

Agreed.

Except Rex had historically nasty defenses until the talent dissolved.

Bowles was just horrendous all around.

While Mangini had his excrement together all around the best, I think Bowles was just the worst of the bunch. Gase has another year to determine where he falls in the halls of suckitude

Bowles is a great DC. Built an excellent defense in Arizona which is what got him the Jets HC job, then went to Tampa and immediately turned them into one of the best defenses in the league. Football coaches are not immune to the Peter Principle as we have keenly proven a bunch of times, but it doesn't mean they're not still great coaches. As Heismanberg has said previously, being a head coach is less of a coaching role and more of CEO type of function. It's one of the many knocks I have on Gase, and one of the reasons why his continued failure is highly likely.
