Why did NY Jets head coach Adam Gase really fire defensive coordinator Gregg Williams?
NY Jets head coach Adam Gase fired defensive coordinator Gregg Williams on Monday after the latter’s ill-advised play call at the end of Sunday’s devastating loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Most assume it was simply because Williams cost the Jets a win.
There may be a much more petty reason.
Gase has continually tried to shift blame from himself throughout this painful season. From blaming the players for lack of execution to twisting himself into a pretzel trying to explain who was calling offensive plays against Miami, he’s consistently passed the buck.
