FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets’ owner has Adam Gase’s back. The franchise quarterback does, too.
A day after team CEO and chairman Christopher Johnson announced the coach will remain in place for next season, Sam Darnold gave the news an enthusiastic thumbs-up.
“If everything works out like it’s supposed to and Adam is here again, that would be absolutely amazing,” Darnold said Thursday. “Going into OTAs and knowing the whole offense, and even being able to build off things we’ve already done this year, it will be incredible.”
Gase has taken lots of heat from fans unhappy with the coach’s performance through a 2-7 start that has included several key injuries and tough losses on the field.
