Gase came off as insightful, foresight, willing to challenge accepted paradigms and as a quick learner last season. It's ponderous how he's become the exact opposite this season. I've said before that I don't think it's coincidental that now as a "consultant" he has his old school, career neer do well father in law, Joe Vitt in his ear. Whether for the sake of family harmony he's capitulating to his "recommendations" or actually believes that what worked for Vitt and Payton early on in NO, (but not certainly not later) works today, either way nepotism is never a good idea! And that's been borne out in spades with the Fins.
Vitt needs to disappear next season. Burke needs to be replaced. Gase himself should replace himself with a skilled playcaller for starters. And Rizzo? His time is up too! Given all this, Gase is not going anywhere because he was "discovered" by Ross himself in concert with his "secret scout." Hopefully Tannenbum and his lackey will be shown the door, but for the same reason, I doubt Ross will countermand his own poor decision-making. Gase has at least 2 more seasons IMO to prove himself. Losing Tannehill, the guy who he specifically came to mentor and was doing a great job is a mitigating circumstance that Ross will not hold against him.
However, if Gase continues on the same bullheaded path w/o making any of the above changes, expecting different results he'll become another Jason Garrett and until Ross and his ego decide he made a mistake, we'll be contending with more of the same.
