Adam Gase is gone. Sam Darnold, for the time being, is not.
On Sunday night, following the New York Jets‘ Week 17 loss to the New England Patriots, the organization parted ways with Gase after nine wins in two years. Many knew it was coming, but the move still had that Michael Scott “it’s happening” feel to it.
When the team hired Gase back in 2019, there was sheer hope he and the young Darnold would thrive alongside each other for years. Of course, the marriage didn’t last all that long, and many blame the divorce on Gase.
