"Gase had NO IDEA Mac would be fired ... Issue was with Mac & Heimerdinger, something went down between them ... Johnson let them both go"

i don't think it has much to do with FA salaries.  what does gase care what the jets paid bell - if they signed him he's playing and he's way better than anything else they have at RB.

i think the rumors started leaking, IFRR, during the draft between rounds 1 and 2-3.  this is also consistent with gase not being around for all the Q hoopla.  i think gase thought/wanted to trade back and when they didn't he flipped out and that was the beginning of the end.  and maybe, just maybe, heimerdinger wound up agreeing with gase on something regarding the draft and that led to a falling out b/t mccags and the dinger.  and then maybe cj decided he couldn't live with this.

the trade back angle is interesting but they really didn't have much ammo. Something like 6 picks total. Because Mac overspent trading up for Darnold and generally wastes all the picks between rounds 2-4

i'm just trying to connect the dots like all of us here.  i don't recall hearing about the rift, etc, until during the draft and people here were commenting on how odd it was.  now, we may never know what offers mccagnan had, but we all noted it was odd how gase was not there in any of the pics/videos when they drafted Q.  filling in the blanks it is certainly possible that certain people (perhaps gase and or dinger) were miffed that mccagnan didn't jump on one of these.

if he was trying to consolidate his power etc wouldn't he put himself front and center? 

they didn't put gase on camera because he's a disaster on camera 

And gase knows this and was more than fine with it. 

***

It could just be a normal firing there are precedents for this timing, 

the Bills fired Terry Puglia 24 hours after the 2017 draft and Buddy Nix after the 2013 draft. The Chiefs ousted Dorsey on a similar timeline 

but it's fun to imagine some sort of GoT style power battle or scandal

you are right - it could be that when gase came on board, he told cj that he wanted different personnel guys in power that he knew and trusted so he could build the team he wanted.  maybe cj told him ok, maybe he told him, wait and see how you work with mccagnan and then let's revisit after FA.  

i think if gase wanted mccagnan to stay he'd be here.  so yeah i think part of it is that gase wants his guys, and while that's perceived as ass backwards with a coach saying who he wants in the front office, if you really, really believe in gase as your coach/darnold developer, then hey, run with it.  at least we'll get offense.

So this is like the parents disciplining kids:  One kid pokes the other, again, again, again, again, again.  The other one complains to parents and they both get sent to their rooms.  or NHL reffing:  One player, hooks, trips, slashes crosschecks, then crosschecks again the other player finally gets up and pushes the the 1st guy....coincidental penalties.

So for the record, you 100% believe Gase had no pre-knowledge of Mac's firing till after it was made public?

dont know about 100% but yeah essentially I think the ownership operated without the HC's input 

maybe they kept him in the dark so he wouldn't leak,  

i just don't think Gase is that good of a liar

i think it's hard to believe this.  gase had to know it was coming somehow - as he was asked questions about the frayed relationship b/t him and mccags.

whether he actively pursued it, that's another matter.  but it's hard to believe he didn't know or at least sense it was coming.

[Villain The Foe]

Sounds like damage control. 

Gase knew. sh*t, Tony Pauline was so confident in what he knew that he never once wavered in what he's been reporting for like a month. 

Gase was part of it.

yeah he probably sensed it coming but i don't think it's that crazy to believe the Ownership operates without the input of the new cheap HC 

he's Adam Gase not Bill Walsh 

[choon328]

I don't care who was behind this. Macc being fired removes the biggest remaining impediment to this franchise being successful. My only issue would be if Gase remains the GM which is not going to happen. Adding Joe Douglas as GM would be a slam dunk. I hope the new GM can swing a deal for a veteran starting caliber Center and CB. That would make me feel much better going into the season bc right now the Jets are currently NOT a .500 team.

schefter was ready to tweet that jeremiah was being considered for a front office position.  it's as if everyone was ready to weigh in on this, just waiting for mccags to get the axe.  i think this was more widely anticipated outside the organization than we realize.

Hermandinger was a underling of Macaganan if there is an issue Mac fires him no questions asked. Complete BS story that no one else is reporting.

Patrick Peterson and Corey Linsley. Adding both takes this team from a 6 win team to a 10 win team immediately.

speaking of poker... Mike Caro wrote the book of tells... famously he recommends saying nothing, doing nothing and wearing shades (Chris Ferguson method)

however Mike Caro himself employs a different method, where he says everything, does everything, twitches, sings and acts like a complete psycho killer (Qu'est-ce que c'est) 

but it's an extremely risky method and other pros (pathological liars) can sometimes suss out tells anyways 

 Maybe Adam Gase is playing crazy man's poker, 

more likely he was telling the truth at the presser and he's telling the truth today. I don't think he's a Mike Caro, sending out misdirections and fakes. But on the other hand the guy can barely control his face. 

Fun fact Mike Caro can't beat the rake at 2/5 anymore so maybe not the best example.

When Woody comes home Chris has to move back into the pool house

this guy spends all day in a film room with a baseball hat tugged around his head. This is the job he wants... 

the dude barely cares about the team outside of the QB room. why would he really be involved with ousting the GM? What's in it for Gase? 

 

There is a guy in Philly that is friends with Gase and is rumored to be the next guy in the GM seat. Douglas -  I don't know his first name but he is the guy mentioned.

I think it’s fair Macc and Gase were not always in agreement. Are a coach and GM ever? But Gase came out in support of Macc. If there were truly an issue and Macc was this close to being fired he’d never even bother to say that. There’d be no need. Plus Manish, I know I know...., reported there’s 100% no chance the stories to Macc’s demise were true. To be honest, this smells to me like Macc and Dinger actually came to blows or close to it. It just reeks of being the result of something that took place that just can’t be tolerated.

People should know who's in charge. If he wanted different personnel guys that's that. You don't obfuscate when you do things for good reasons. You do it when you do things for stupid reasons. Nobody's buying he didn't know about/campaign for the change and it just makes him look like an idiot. I don't get GW or free agency or the draft or anything else. Either Gase reaslly was out of the loop, or he had his say but doesn't actually have to be accountable for it. Both portend ill.
