It’s a battle of former Chicago Bears’ coordinators tonight on Thursday Night Football as head coach Adam Gase and his New York Jets hosts the Denver Broncos and head coach Vic Fangio.
Gase and Fangio worked together in Chicago as a part of John Fox’s staff initial coaching back in 2015, with Gase coordinating the offense and Fangio running the defense.
Gase’s work with Jay Cutler that year led to him getting a head coaching gig in Miami in 2016, while Fangio stuck around through Fox’s three years in Chicago and for year one of the Matt Nagy era before leaving to coach the Broncos in 2019.
