Adam Gase’s seat is starting to warm just two games into the 2020 season.
According to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen, high-ranking Jets executives are keeping an eye on Gase over New York’s next two games. The Jets are in Indianapolis on Sunday before hosting the Broncos for Thursday Night Football in Week 4.
Mortensen’s report follows an 0-2 start from the Jets. New York is banged up and has played poorly on both sides of the ball, but it is Gase’s inefficient offense that has drawn the most criticism from fans and media. Bradley McDougald and Avery Williamson also publicly voiced complaints about the team’s practice habits, a poor reflection on the coaching staff.
Jets CEO and chairman Christopher Johnson offered his support for Gase following New York’s Week 1 loss to the Bills, calling him a “brilliant offensive mind,” but a vote of confidence after just one game didn’t exactly suggest all is well. The Jets have never fired a head coach during the season before, but the organization has taken lots of heat over Gase’s performance despite the abundance of injuries plaguing New York this season.
Entering Sunday’s Week 3 contest, Gase is 7-11 as Jets head coach and 30-36 for his career. Should the Jets lose by 10 or more against the Colts, Gase will have as many double-digit losses for his career as he does total wins.
