New York Jets: Celebrating Adam Gase day, why there’s hope for 2020

Come one, come all, it’s time to celebrate Adam Gase Day!

Believe it or not exactly a year ago today the New York Jets decided to make Gase the 19th head coach in franchise history!

To be candid, when the Gase hire became official Gang Green fans wanted to riot. The team hired a reject from the Miami Dolphins who had a propensity to lose and somehow the New York Jets portrayed him as a Peyton Manning whisperer who could unlock Sam Darnold’s true potential.

Year No. 1? No dice.

Darnold showed an alarming amount of inconsistency, was plagued by ghosts, a bout with mononucleosis, and an array of nagging injuries to his thumb, knee, and ribs.
