Adam Gase’s great Patriots challenge includes old pal

Jets coach Adam Gase and Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels first met 20 years ago, when they both were on Nick Saban’s staff at Michigan State.

The two shared an apartment for a brief time there, along with current Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. Ten years later, Gase worked under McDaniels, when he was the head coach with the Broncos, as the wide receivers coach.

On Sunday, the two will be on opposite sidelines as Gase faces the Patriots for the first time with the Jets. Gase took time this week to talk to The Post about McDaniels’ influence on him during their time in Denver.
