La’Mical Perine, Mekhi Becton like post announcing Adam Gase’s dismissal

Jets players like Ty Johnson and La’Mical Perine took to Instagram to react to the news of Adam Gase’s dismissal on Sunday evening.

When head coaches are fired, some send their well wishes and some rejoice.

Christopher Johnson relieved Adam Gase of his duties on Sunday evening, and news started to surface just 20 minutes after the Jets arrived back at the team facility in Florham Park, according to running back Ty Johnson’s Instagram page.

Johnson wasn’t the only player to react to the news of Gase’s firing. La’Mical Perine initially liked an Instagram post, which announced New York’s decision to part ways with Gase. Mekhi Becton also liked a tweet detailing the same information.

Back in October, after Le’Veon Bell’s Twitter likes following his return to the starting lineup blew up, Perine followed suit. The fourth-round pick out of Flordia liked a tweet that questioned Gase’s odd explanation for the rookie’s minimal usage out of the backfield.

Becton’s trainer, meanwhile, took issue with how Gase handled an injury to the offensive linemen earlier in the season.

During his two-year tenure in New York, where he went 9-23, Gase rubbed some players in the building the wrong way, while others enjoyed playing for him. Quincy Enunwa and Kelechi Osemele were not appreciative of the way their injuries were handled, while Jamal Adams badmouthed Gase on his way out the door. Then there’s Bell and Perine, who let their social media likes do the talking. There were also instances of Gase clashing with players in Miami.

As for Sam Darnold and Tarell Basham, they recently expressed how much they enjoyed playing for their now-former head coach.
