Adam Gase already has unique place in Jets history

A look at what's happening around the New York Jets:

1. Football nerd: Adam Gase is months away from coaching his first practice, but he already has made franchise history: Of the Jets' 19 head coaches, he's the first without any college or pro playing experience. Yeah, that's right, even Eric Mangini, with his Wall Street body, played college ball. He was a nose tackle at Wesleyan. In case you're wondering, the only other current NFL head coach who never played beyond high school is the Denver Broncos' new hire, Vic Fangio, who attended East Stroudsburg.
