Adam Gase is finally allowed to return to his second home: Atlantic Health Jets Training Center.
Starting Friday, June 5, NFL coaching staffs can return to their respective training facilities, per a memo from commissioner Roger Goodell. Goodell advised that any coach who may be considered at high risk of catching the coronavirus speak with team doctors or their own physician before re-entering team facilities. All coaches will be tested before any players arrive at the facilities.
Gase treats his office like his own little sanctuary. He’s got no windows in it whatsoever so he can avoid knowing what time of day it is. He also has a closet full of binders with notes from each game he’s coached, so Friday should make for a nice reunion.
Unfortunately for Gase, he’s had to adjust on the fly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Gase’s office during the NFL draft appeared to be his living room. His three kids, McKenzie, A.J. and Wyatt, were frequently caught on camera.
With Gase now allowed back in his office, he has a lot of catching up to do. Like all NFL teams, the Jets weren’t permitted to hold voluntary OTAs. They also won’t hold a minicamp. The first time the players will all be together will be in training camp at the end of July.
