John Fox feels the Jets and Sam Darnold are in good hands with Adam Gase.
When Fox was the head coach in Denver and Chicago, Gase was his offensive coordinator. Fox believes the Jets new head coach played a “huge” part in Peyton Manning’s historic 2013 season in Denver.
Manning, two years removed from a neck injury that cost him to miss a season, was nearing the end of his career. Gase was just starting his rise. In Gase’s first season as an NFL offensive coordinator, Manning threw for 5,477 yards and 55 touchdown passes. Both are NFL records that still stand.
