Jets Ownership Further Proves They Have No Idea How to Run an NFL Team by Bringing Back Adam Gase

The New York Jets, more so than perhaps any organization in professional sports, are not only masters of getting in their own way, but kings of refusing to admit they have ever done anything wrong, despite the fact they are approaching a decade without a playoff berth.

And they're not getting any closer.

The hire of Adam Gase, which looks like an abject disaster after the regression of Sam Darnold and a 2-7 start, is the epitomization of the disastrous reign of Christopher Johnson, who has gone 11-30 as Jets owner. Despite the lack of success, Johnson isn't going to make any changes to the Jets coaching staff, emphatically stating well ahead of schedule that Gase can re-up his lease for 2020.

And people wonder why bad teams stay bad.

It's been said a million times, but Adam Gase is allegedly an "offensive guru" and a "quarterback whisperer" that has an offense that ranks dead last in yards per game. He is as likely to lose by double digits as he is to win in his coaching career.

This is the hill you really want to die on? Fine, enjoy perpetual mediocrity.

Making Darnold deal with a third offensive coordinator and head coach in three seasons obviously isn't the ideal path the Jets want to go down, but sticking with an inept coach who's had minimal success at this level and is actively causing his quarterback to regress isn't what will get this moribund franchise out of the doldrums.

Show some humility and admit you were wrong, rather than crossing your fingers and praying Gase suddenly turns into Lombardi.
