Coach Gase's original vision was to build a team similar to Denver's offense with Manning controlling the offense at the line. He thought Ryan could be that, but he changed to a compatible vision organized around a physical running game. He realized that was too much for Ryan and his offensive players at this time. In the middle of having to motivate and trim the fat, he altered his vision. That is an attribute of a good coach.
His players are giving full effort. He has built the credibility to cut players without losing the team because he was fair. He has been growing as a head coach. I just do not see why he has been criticized to the level on this board. It is a long season, and the Phins may regress or not meet expectations. I am impressed with the job he has done to this point.
