Decisions have consequences, and in the Jets’ case, Christopher Johnson’s decision to hire Adam Gase over other qualified candidates has turned into an unmitigated disaster.
Not since the 1-15 season under Rich Kotite in 1996 have the Jets been this bad. They’re 0-5 and about to get a lot worse, and there will soon be a reckoning with Gase’s future. It would be a shock to see him last the entire season; if things continue to spiral out of control, Johnson will have no other choice than to remove Gase prematurely, appoint Gregg Williams as the interim head coach, and hire someone else after the season.
