NY Jets: Robert Saleh is held back by an unchangeable limitation

Maybe the New York Jets weren’t so far off base with Adam Gase.

Well, that’s stretching the truth to its breaking point — but at least they had the right idea.

For over 25 years, Gase is the only head coach the Jets have hired with an offensive background. They went from Bill Parcells (1997-99) to Al Groh (2000) to Herman Edwards (2001-05) to Eric Mangini (2006-08) to Rex Ryan (2009-14) to Todd Bowles (2015-18) and then to Robert Saleh (2021-present) after they fired Gase.

Under Saleh, the Jets’ biggest problem has been their offense.
