Bob Glauber: Firing Adam Gase would be understandable, but it wouldn't change the Jets' roster

There is nothing that will change the downward trajectory of the Jets this season. At 0-6, there is every reason to believe they will create a new bottom for themselves in the coming weeks, especially after a torturous hat trick of playoff opponents in the Bills, Kansas City and Patriots that almost certainly will see them fall to 0-9.

You want Adam Gase gone? Completely understood. He should be gone. And he will be gone. It's simply a matter of when, because there is zero chance he will continue beyond this season. That he wasn't shown the door after Sunday's 24-0 embarrassment in Miami is a surprise to many, and owner Christopher Johnson would be completely justified in making a change, for no other reason than to placate fans who are understandably enraged at how far this team has fallen.

Gase has proven he is not up to the job, and there is no justification to keep him as the coach. Just as there was no way for Rich Kotite to continue beyond the two-year nightmare of 1995-96, as he bottomed out at 1-15 before walking out of Weeb Ewbank Hall for the final time.
