Adam Gase’s ongoing employment as the Jets head coach adheres to a questionable principle: If you can’t be good at your job, be so thoroughly, defiantly terrible at it that your superiors think that you must be doing something right.
The 0-11 Jets rank dead last in the N.F.L. in points and total yards. Football Outsiders calculates a 32.6 percent chance that they will finish the season 0-16. Sam Darnold, the would-be franchise quarterback Gase was hired to develop, has regressed so badly that he appears unsalvageable. The only reason to watch the 2020 Jets is to experience the shameful thrill of rubbernecking a turnpike pileup.
