Things aren't exactly going too well for Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase.
The Dolphins are struggling, he just threw quarterback Ryan Tannehill under the bus and people are getting on his case about him sitting on the bench during defensive possessions.
Well, Gase has a simple response for anyone who criticizes him for not standing while his defense is on the field: other coaches do it, too.
“I’m not the only one that does that,” Gase said Wednesday, according to Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post. “The guy in L.A. does it a lot, and they’re all right.”
Gase was referring to Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay, who has led his team to a 12-3 record this year.
Numerous Dolphins fans took to Twitter to rail on Gase for taking a seat during the Dolphins' loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars this past weekend, but that hardly seems like Miami's only problem this season.
Or, a problem at all for that matter.
“It just depends where we are in the game,” Gase said. “Just remember, it’s not hard to see that I’m on the headsets with the defense. I can hear everything. I can see what’s going on. There’s pretty big screens on the field. It’s not like I can’t see anything. I hear everything going on. A lot of times I’m trying to get the next series ready so I can tell those guys, ‘Here’s what’s coming. Here’s what I’m thinking going into the next series.’”
All of that being said, when you aren't doing a good job, people tend to nitpick every little thing you do just for the heck of it.
This seems like one of those things.
