Adam Gase is the new head coach of the New York Jets.

Gase, who was fired by the Miami Dolphins at the end of the regular season, was hired Thursday by the Jets, according to Ian Rapoport. Contract and salary details aren’t known at this time.

Gase isn’t a bad hire at all. There had been plenty of reporting that Mike McCarthy might be the guy, but the organization clearly decided to go in a different direction.

It also sounds like Gase getting brought in by the organization has a lot to do with his skills when it comes to working with quarterbacks. (RELATED: Here Were The Best Moments From Wild Card Weekend In The NFL)

He had Ryan Tannehill in Miami, and was able to milk him for all the QB was worth. Now, he’ll have Sam Darnold to teach in New York.

Gase does have his work cutout for him without out a doubt. The Jets haven’t been good for several years, and the fanbase has had enough of absolutely sucking.

Can Gase turn them around? Only time will tell, but we know what he did in Miami. He did a lot more with the Dolphins than he gets credited with, and that’s a fact.

Let’s not forget that Brock Osweiler was their QB at one point this year. There’s only so much you can do in a situation like that.

Time will tell how successful he’ll be, but I like this hire a lot. He’s got the experience, and he could be the perfect man for Darnold to grow under.
