New York Jets: Adam Gase Secures Job for 2020 Season
In a surprising turn of events, New York Jets team chairman and CEO, Christopher Johnson, announced on Wednesday that head coach Adam Gase will continue in his role for the 2020 season. Johnson's decision comes amidst a challenging season for the team, currently standing at 2-7.
Johnson expressed his support for Gase, citing the coach's positive work with quarterback Sam Darnold and collaborative efforts with general manager Joe Douglas as key factors in his decision. Johnson defended Gase midway through his first season with the team, and his latest statement reaffirms his belief in Gase as the right coach to help Darnold progress in his career.
Darnold, who has seven touchdown passes and nine interceptions this season, has been affected by the offensive line's instability. Center Ryan Kalil is dealing with a knee injury, while starting right guard Brian Winters is out for the year with a dislocated shoulder. Left guard Kelechi Osemele, who had a shoulder injury, was cut and filed a grievance against the team.
Johnson also acknowledged that the team is not where they thought they'd be. However, he expressed encouragement at the team's effort and lack of finger-pointing. Johnson's desire to keep star safety Jamal Adams on the team for the rest of his career reflects this sentiment. The ultimate decision on players like Adams will be up to general manager Joe Douglas.
The news of Gase's job security might further frustrate some fans who were calling for his dismissal. Johnson met with reporters during practice to announce his decision. Since June 2019, Joe Douglas has been the General Manager and Robert Saleh the Head Coach of the New York Jets. Gase replaced Todd Bowles as coach in January, and Joe Douglas replaced Mike Maccagnan as GM in June.
As the Jets head into the second half of the season, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see if Johnson's faith in Gase pays off. The team's success will not only impact the coach's reputation but also the future of the franchise.
