If he were just incompetent, he should have still gotten a job as some sort of relatively unimportant assistant coach. That he didn't means either he doesn't want to be in the NFL unless he's a coach or OC (which even if he weren't a conniving SOB, he wouldn't get hired for), or the teams decided absolutely not we're not letting this conniving SOB into our building. Also it isn't collusion in the sense that teams are putting pressure on other teams not to hire him. It's that each team has independently decided they want nothing to do with him.
I guess I give the guy much less importance than you do and see much less demand for his work; how much demand do you see for incompetents? Even then, if a guy is blackballed it takes a group effort, not just individual actions.
it is weird Gase hasn’t gotten a job somewhere. He’s still young. By the way, everyone’s golden boy Ben Johnson has cited Gase as an influence of his in the past
Gase was a complete fraud. I'm not surprised at all that no NFL team wants him. He failed miserably at not one, but two NFL franchises.
The article refers to Johnson having lost confidence in Douglas and starting to jump in and make moves.
I don’t believe anyone has said otherwise but plenty of failed coaches get second, third, 4th chances as assistants. One of them is leading the defense of the back to back Super Bowl champs
I get it but Gase was next level awful. Running two franchises into the dirt in the span of 2-3 years is rarefied air.
He was also meddling with the Huff contract and others before the season even started. He is nothing but a reactive shot from the heap guy who goes VFR direct to what he doesn’t like.
No offense, but I trust Joe Douglas over Woody Johnson 7 days a week and twice on Sunday. Believe what you want, but he's the main issue.
I don't give a shit of "who said what" or "Jack Squat of whomever, told whatever, this, that or the other." Wood-RUFF Johnson is a fucking football cancer and he NEEDS-TO-BE-CUT-OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Joe Douglas was a first time GM and Robert Saleh was a first time HC. Why? Because Wood-RUFF Johnson is a mother-fucking JACK ASS and no one worth two shits is going to come to this fucking dumpster fire WASTELAND!!! Of COURSE they are going to make fucking mistakes! It's WHAT people DO when they are learning "on the job!"!!!! Helloooooooo McFly.....it's the process!!!! Jesus H. Fucking Christ! How DAMN hard is THAT to figure out? I wasn't expecting perfection. Hell, I was barely working on "fair-to-middling!" That shit for brains owner needs to have his mouth stapled shut, his hands bolted behind his back and his legs NAILED to a stool, sat in the corner and told, "if you move you're a dead man!" when it comes to this football team! There is no way on green earth ANYONE can convince me that Joe Douglas and Robert Saleh WANTED Aaron Rodgers. None, zip, nada. Period. Did the team need to move on from Douglas and Saleh? Hell, at this point, damn skippy! Fuck, if you handed me a 40 year old QB and told me I had no choice then I'd have checked the fuck out too! I'll tell you one flippin' thing, though. This bullshit nightmare ain't over, it's JUST beginning. For 20+ years this shit has been building and it's now hit a crescendo. At this point, I don't even think you could throw enough money at a guy like Gase to come back to this pile of dogshit so you sure as hell aren't going to find anyone of QUALITY to come here so that, after the owner has forced some poor bastard to bring Ryan Leaf out of retirement, he can be fired, mid-fucking-season, but a useless turd of an owner who thinks he's the next coming of Bill Polian. What a mother-fucking-disaster this is!
hmm. I loved the Jets pre-Woody. So, I don't accept that me and my brethren are laughing stocks. What that POS did to our team is a shame. We desrve better. See Detroit. It CAN happen
