Too bad Douglass for the most part got his GM gig with the Jets due in large part to the advice of Gase to Chris Johnson, cause if it hadn't played out that way and due to Douglass's perceived loyalty to him, I do believe Douglass would be seriously thinking of sending Gase on his merry way right this very second and letting Greg Williams run the team the rest of the way.
However, seeing that for a HC, it doesn't get much worse than to get fired during the season which could in turn effect for example Gase's not getting even another assistant coaching gig with another team for awhile, I have no doubt Douglass is going to wait till end of the season before letting Gase go so Gase can leave with whatever "dignity" a fired coach can muster up.
There is no doubt tho that Gase is dead man walking and despite what I just said, if the Jets somehow get off to a 1-9 starts which is possible considering the lack of talent on this team, maybe just maybe Douglass will have to tell Gase that despite his help getting him the GM job, he's gotta let him go.
Bottom line: What a f'n shit show once again here in Jetland....unfriggenreal. Other than when Jets drafted John Riggins in 1971 when I truly became a fan(yes I missed out on the '69 SB as was to young to recall it...my bad luck) till 1981 while I was in college, when Richard Todd was "God" and the NY Sack Exchange was born and the Jets made the playoffs for 1st time since 1970, these last 10 years is the longest sustained amount of suckage that I've ever experienced as a fan of this godforsaken cursed team.
And what's worse is unless everything goes right in Douglass's rebuild, and listen I do trust this guy, but unless everything goes right, it's not going to be for another 2 and likely 3 years till the Jets can even be competitive again let alone a winning team. Just mind boggling how inept this franchise has been over the years and continues to be.... it really is.
OK rant over....uggggggg!!!
