Jets QB Sam Darnold echoes CEO's support for coach Adam Gase

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- One day after a strong public endorsement from ownership, New York Jets coach Adam Gase received another show of support from a voice that matters -- quarterback Sam Darnold.

"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 [next spring] and knowing the whole offense, and even being able to build off things we've already done this year, it will be incredible."

CEO Christopher Johnson, who announced Wednesday that Gase will return in 2020 despite a 2-7 record and growing unrest among fans, said the coach-quarterback relationship is an important component in his commitment to Gase.
