Gase Back in the Crosshairs? Player Quote, Cryptic Comments from Ed Reed Raises Eyebrows

[JetNation]

Is Adam Gase’s job still safe?

That’s what Jets fans are wondering amidst a recent report from Matt Miller of bleacher report in which he claims an anonymous Jets player had this to say about Gase:

“One guy told me Adam Gase has lost the respect of the locker room with his ‘tough guy bulls–t attitude’ and the team’s lack of any plan offensively.’Guys actually repsect Gregg Williams,’ the player said, ‘No one respects Gase’.

Ouch.  That one’s gotta’ sting for owner Chris Johnson who has done nothing but heap praise on Gase despite his team’s miserable performance, but then things got worse.  Hall of Famer Ed Reed would visit Florham Park late in the day and then, from the team’s own practice field, sent out a video that people are speculating is in relation to Gase:

Not all are qualified #nopics

In the video, Reed spends a little bit over a minute talking about how some people in life are gifted a job that they’re not qualified for.  “Just because you get a job and get a title”, Reed said, “Doesn’t mean you’re qualified to do that job”.  He would continue on, saying “Some people don’t even know how to approach you, or to handle the gift they’ve been given”.

Those fans who still view Adam Gase as the future of football will tell us that Reed may have had lunch at the team facility and could have very well been talking about the kitchen staff because his mashed potatoes were a bit lumpy.

However, it was the final comment from Reed that sounds an awful lot like he’s talking about Adam Gase.  Gase came from Miami with a reputation for not knowing how to interact with his players and who often rubbed guys the wrong way.  Then of course there was the story about how the Jets were pondering the hire when Peyton  Manning stepped in and sealed the deal for Gase by convincing owner Chris Johnson to make the hire.  Could this be the “gift” Reed was referring to?

It’s cryptic, but on some level seems clear as to who Reed is talking about.  The Reed video, coupled with the player quote from Miller could have Jets fans wondering if Adam Gase is the next Eric Mangini.  Remember, Mangini was told by owner Woody Johnson that his job was safe during the 2008 season.  Then, a catastrophic finish to the season forced Johnson to reverse his decision.  Now some Jets fans are hoping his kid brother does the same after promising another bad head coach that this season will not be his last.

From the article/post: "Then of course there was the story about how the Jets were pondering the hire when Peyton  Manning stepped in and sealed the deal for Gase by convincing owner Chris Johnson to make the hire.  Could this be the “gift” Reed was referring to?"

No. I'm not a Gase fan at all, but this is some Flat Earth type thinking.

Like I said in the other thread, Reed is so obviously talking about the guy who I don’t like and don’t think is any good.

On no level whatsoever is it ‘clear’. I hate Gase. I’m just not letting my bias inform how I interpret any possible thing that happens in life. Maybe he was talking about politics. Lots of nepotism there. Maybe one of many (I’m guessing) charity organizations he works with.

It could literally be anyone.

Man I hope so

[dbatesman]

it’s gonna come out that Reed was talking about his kid’s math teacher or something

There's a very mediocre pizza shop by where I work.  I go there sometimes because it's the only pizza.  However, the owner recently sold, and now there's this girl working the counter - the job is too big for her.  Hard to explain, but getting pizza to the oven, back out of the oven, into a box, and charging me for it is just too much for her.

I'm fairly certain this is who Reed is talking about.

No

This is called wishcasting.

Certainly seems CJ is keeping Gase until 2012. You get the sense he’s ‘riding or dying’ with Gase. Brilliant.

I think the Coughlin firing is not a good sign for Gase.  

Khan basically caved into the player complaints about an Old School Coach.  The Jaguars had some of the same issues with fines/medical care that the Jets did.  My guess is that the Jet medical issues are similar to the Jaguars medical issues.  Basically, the teams think if they pay players they should tell the players how to get medical treatment, because the teams think they own the players’ bodies.  The modern-day player disagrees.

But Gase will have the off season to think about how he does his job better.  Douglas will upgrade at least 10 positions on the roster.  The roster will be better.  Gase will not change at all, and although CJ will want to keep him for 2020 the deluge of protests will force him replace Gase.  At that point there will be other coaches that want the job.

Anybody who doesn't think Reed was talking about Gase, is in complete denial. Kinda like the people who still wanna believe O.J was innocent. Who else would he be referring too. Considering he was making a rare trip to Florham Park.

If we could put the results of any given @Sarge4Tide poll as a method of running this team and do light years beyond anything the Johnson brothers are going to do, or anyone they entrust the team to.
