Adam Gase first learned of the explosive video of his now ex-assistant Chris Foerster snorting lines of white powder just before 11 p.m. Sunday, when general manager Chris Grier called to notify him about it.
“I don't think I can say what my reaction was,” Gase said.
Less than 12 hours later, Foerster was gone, having offered his resignation. Gase would not say if he demanded that resignation.
“He's disappointed,” Gase said, “he's upset, he's mad at himself. It's unfortunate.”
Foerster’s now-infamous video has become just the latest national controversy for this team, and the latest distraction for a team with many of them this year.
