Jets news: Adam Gase not the problem, claims offensive coordinator

New York Jets offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains refused to blame head coach Adam Gase for the team's putrid play, especially on offense.

Since Adam Gase has been the head coach of the New York Jets, he has overseen the worst team in football by nearly every metric.

The team's offense has ranked 32nd in each of his two seasons, he has driven multiple stars out of town, and the Jets have lost all five games this season by at least two scores. The resume is, simply put, awful:

Adam Gase’s #Jets resume:

– Ruined a potential franchise QB

– Alienated his superstar safety and running back causing both to leave

– No. 32 ranked offense in consecutive seasons

And yet, his job status is safe.

Yet, somehow, Gase has not only kept his job (for now), he has seemingly brainwashed the entire organization.

Instead of firing Gase as he ruins Sam Darnold, Jets CEO Chris Johnson called his head coach a “brilliant offensive mind.”

General manager Joe Douglas continues to stand by him, even though he didn't hire him. On Tuesday, Douglas finally acquiesced to Gase's wishes and released Le'Veon Bell. Things aren't going well:

Adam Gase (QB guru) loves running the ball, and also just got rid of his team’s best running back https://t.co/lCPHsOwHO8

Adam Gase on the perception that he misused Le'Veon Bell:

"It's irrelevant at this point…. It didn't work out."

Like it didn't work out for Ryan Tannehill, Mike Gesicki, DeVante Parker, Robby Anderson, Kenyan Drake, Damien Williams, etc. #TakeFlight

Still, Gase continues to place the blame on everybody besides himself for the team's struggles.

He did briefly consider changing up the play-calling responsibilities earlier this week, then claimed his coaching staff believed he was the right man for the job:

“We talked about it as a staff,” Gase claimed, via Ralph Vacchiano of SNY. “None of the guys thought that was the right move to make. Just talking with those guys and seeing if we needed to make changes in that area. Nobody thought that was the reason why anything is going the way it’s going.”

On Thursday, Jets offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains validated Gase's claim by stooging for his boss:

“Very little of it is play-calling. If there was ever a problem with that, the staff would have no problem telling the boss — coach Gase — that’s an issue,” Loggains told reporters. “But that’s not the issue. We have a lot more issues that we’re working through that we need to continue to improve on …

Loggains took a play out of Gase's ineffective playbook and blamed the players for failing to execute Gase's calls:

“Our issues on offense are bigger than playcalling right now. It comes down to execution. It comes down to making sure your guys are in the right spots. Whoever calls the plays isn’t [himself] converting on third-and-1, isn’t converting the fourth-and-1 last week in the game. Those are things that come down to details.”

Not a great look for the New York Jets.
