Would you mind explaining the secret scout thing further? I don’t recall hearing about this during the pursuit of Gase. It makes me wonder if this same secret scout provided insight into the attempted Harbaugh recruitmentSo long as coaches like Hue Jackson and Marvin Lewis remain employed, it's hard for me to perceive that short of 1 Hue Jackson season, Gase will be shown the door. Ross has a personal stake considering that his "secret scout" helped him identify Gase as the most viable candidate whom he then tasked Tannenbaum to deliver.
After 2016 in total and particularly his last 8 games, the only thing Tannehill has to prove is that he can stay healthy, mobile and continue to be effective rolling out. It's the OL that needs to step up; ditto the OLC.
I pretty much agree, but I really wish he didn't insist on calling the plays, He is the HC.Gase has shown great coaching so far, so it will take a lot, or a lot of blindness to get rid of him.
Consider in 2016, with a new coaching staff, new offense, somewhat new defense, Miami started slow, and should have been it, as far as reaching the playoffs in Gase' s 1st year, but instead, Miami, dug deep, put a nice winning streak together, and got back to the playoffs after many years...if they had not lost Tannehill, Miami might have even gone a little further in the playoffs.
Last year, Gase had to deal with losing for tge season, again his starting QB, a Rookie LB that was being counted to become the glue that held that unit, Gase also dealt with an early Hurricane that stayed in players minds for a few weeks, and took away their bye week, Gase had a FA LB that felt home sick for his old team, he then had a coach that was putting a white substance up his nose.
Even with all those distractions, and potential problems in 2017, under Gase, the Dolphins for most of the year were finding ways to compete for a playoff position.
Unless huge bad luck hits Gase again this year, come 2019, Gase is going to be known as the new face of brilliant new wave of young coaches coming in.
Gase does have the IT factor that great coaches have, and he is not going anywhere, until he files for social security as he retires from a long career rivaling the great Don Shula.
is Adam Gases' job secure?
I am not so sure that Gase has the it-factor as a head coach as another poster suggested because there were just too many things going on with this football team that were clearly coaching issues but if Gase excels at one thing, it’s calling plays. I’d even say that he is the best play caller in the league.I pretty much agree, but I really wish he didn't insist on calling the plays, He is the HC.
Didn't know his circumstances just knew he was a hell of a coach... I'm not against retaining Gase but this season will tell us alot. Just pondering different options at the head coach positionYou want to hire a 65 year old head coach that had cancer a few months ago?
Pretty much sums up my thoughts at this time but Gase brought in some highly touted assistant coaches which has me more optimistic so maybe he figured it out. I am ready for some one since Shula to step up thats for sure.I am not so sure that Gase has the it-factor as a head coach as another poster suggested because there were just too many things going on with this football team that were clearly coaching issues but if Gase excels at one thing, it’s calling plays.
