Since this became a big talking point during the conference, per below this is not health related - just an intense individual.

Adam Gase set a record Monday. No, not for clichés, but the new Jets head coach must have set a mark for the time it took to become a New York sports meme.

His intense eyes went viral on Twitter, becoming the subject of thousands of social media jokes. A Twitter account, Adam Gase’s Eyes, was launched after the uncomfortable introductory press conference in which he could be seen scanning the room, shifting his gaze every few seconds to a different corner.

Cameron Wolfe, who covered Gase’s Dolphins for ESPN, clarified it is not health-related — Gase was probably just nervous.

“I’ve got four texts about Adam Gase’s eyes during his 15-min NYJ pressers,” he tweeted. “Those are normal. He’s an intense guy, but he’ll probably be more relaxed in less formal settings.

I checked his Miami press conference and he looked and acted much more "normal".  Maybe it's the NY media that has him looking like a deer caught in headlights!

Nah, I saw him in some Miami press conferences too. Saw those eyes. May have been more pronounced today for obvious reasons. I can't wait for him to get comfortable and sparing with reporters. I saw one instance where he told a reporter 'you don't know what you're talking about' and then blew him off for the next question. That ought to go over well with the combative jets' media.

Gase was even asked about his crazy eyes by Michael Kay

Adam Gase’s first act as coach of the New York Jets: get memed.

Gase’s introductory press conference quickly went viral due to his intense eyes, though don’t expect him to dwell on it.

In fact, he said he wasn’t even aware of it until his appearance on ESPN Radio’s “The Michael Kay Show” on Monday.

“I don’t even know what that is,” Gase said on the subject of being an internet meme. “I don’t have Twitter, I don’t have Instagram, I don’t look at the internet, I don’t really watch TV, I watch movies. That’s it. The only time I get to know anything is when somebody tells me.”

He was then asked about his favorite movie (it’s “Field of Dreams”) and weighed in on a topic that he most definitely did not know has been a subject of long-running web conversation for years: “Is Die Hard” a Christmas movie?

“No.”
