16 Dec Adam Gase Admits He’s Let Down Jets Ownership After Abysmal 0-13 Record

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase spoke candidly with reporters, Wednesday, admitting that he has let down Jets ownership with the team’s abysmal 0-13 record.

“He knows how I [feel],” Gase told reporters, referring to Jets’ CEO Christopher Johnson. “I’ve told him multiple times. He deserves better, especially with how he is with our players, our staff, coaches … anybody involved in this organization. I mean, I couldn’t ask for to work for a better guy.”

When asked whether he has let down ownership, he responded: “Yes. You try to figure out where things went wrong and what we can change. It’s like you’re trying to evaluate things as you go and adjust … But at the end of the day, it’s about winning. We haven’t done that. For him not to feel a playoff feel, of being competitive in December, it’s disappointing to me that we haven’t been able to do that for him.”

The Jets, unable to secure a single victory in 2020, could very likely finish the season 0-16. Their closest win thus far came against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 13. They held the lead until the final seconds when Henry Ruggs caught a game-winning Hail-Marry touchdown pass.

Fans have called for Gase’s firing, but ownership has ignored their anger for now. The Jets fired defensive coordinator, Gregg Williams, earlier in the season.
