This is not a question that ordinarily comes up in the first year of an NFL coach's tenure, even in today's world of instant analysis and intense and incessant scrutiny. A coach almost always gets at least a year _ and then some _ to see if he's got the makings of a potentially successful run.
But with Adam Gase's erratic performance in a 1-5 start, punctuated by his team's woeful showing in a humiliating 33-0 loss to the defending champion Patriots on Monday night at MetLife Stadium, the Jets' first-year coach is certainly pushing the limits of whether it is appropriate to wonder if he's the right man for the job.
There are no indications anyone in a position of power within the Jets' organization is ready to push the eject button on Gase in the immediate term. Frustration, yes. But enough to act on it? No. At least not yet.
