Reunited and it feels so good for Adam Gase, new GM Joe Douglas

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – Adam Gase admitted he was giddy when he found out that his old friend Joe Douglas would become the Jets' general manager.

Gase said he didn’t leave Douglas alone after Jets chairman and CEO Christopher Johnson told him his choice.

“I was excited when Christopher called me and gave me the update,” Gase said. “I was borderline ex-girlfriend harassing Joe, ‘When are you coming up? When are you coming up?’ The last couple of days have been awesome. When he got here, just sitting here talking roster, talking some of the things I was doing with the players on the field and practice and things like that.
