Adam Gase Almost Never Sleeps and Maybe That's Part of the Problem

Folks, we might finally have an explanation for Adam Gase's renowned apparent lunacy -- the New York Jets head coach, formerly of the Miami Dolphins, practically never sleeps.

Dan Pompei of The Athletic recently published a featured piece on the head coach with the funny-looking eyes, and it consists of some disturbing and equally hilarious stories that perfectly illustrate his frenzied persona... and poor winning percentage.

For starters, Gase drinks five-to-six 20-ounce coffees a day. We know what you're thinking: why does he need that much caffeine (coupled with the occasional Red Bull)?

Well, per former Dolphins exec Mike Tannebaum -- now an analyst for ESPN -- he would receive texts from Gase at 4 a.m. on a daily basis. But, Tannebaum wasn't the only person the Jets boss turned to in the wee hours of the night.

Per Pompei, wideout Kenny Stills oft found himself pleading his former coach to stop texting him after midnight because he was trying to sleep, something Gase almost never did.

If all that wasn't enough to prove that Gase is virtually married to coaching, then this alarming tale surely will. His wife, Jennifer, claims that generally gets home at 2 a.m. on the regular and reports back to work four hours later at 6 a.m. You do the math.

Additionally, when she travels to road games, Jennifer finds herself in a separate room because her husband is up analyzing film all night.

Is Gase's work ethic farfetched, borderline psychotic, and marginally impressive? Yes, yes, and yes. However, for a man who holds a 23-25 overall head coaching record across three seasons, maybe, just maybe, more shut-eye would help the cause.
