For Adam Gase, this offseason has been marked by bad news, good news, and then more bad news. First, he was fired as head coach of the Miami Dolphins – bad. Next, he was hired as head coach of the New York Jets – good. Finally, he gets to continue coaching in the AFC East, the same division lorded over by Bill Belichick and Tom Brady for most of the past 20 years – bad.
Gase is all-too-familiar with Belichick and Brady; not just from his time spent in South Beach, but also from frequent dust-ups with the pair while he was on the Denver Broncos coaching staff from 2009-2014.
