I've been surprised to see the strong turn against Gase so quickly. Even Sparano and Philbin seemed to get more leeway. Only Sparano had comparable success to Gase in his first year by delivering a playoff appearance. It's especially odd considering the fact he had to go an entire season without his starting QB. I thought that would be a built-in excuse and reason enough for a mulligan in Year 2.

I'd like to get a sense of the fanbase's feelings toward Gase. See the poll above.
 
3 years minimum. Understand he is a young coach, that will make mistakes, but we don't want to let him learn in Miami then end up being the head coach we wish we still have years down the road.
 
I give him the same amount of rope I would give a college coach. Give him a chance to get his players in there and to drop the players that don't fit his system. That can't be done overnight in the NFL with the salary cap, free agency and draft.

I think it's a win now culture in the NFL. Unless I see progression, not just in the win loss column but solid wins, wins against teams in our division, I would have a short leash on a hc. We haven't looked good, more penalties, bad losses, slow starts, poor game planning, poor utilization of personnel, cutting guys that oppose something you may want instead of working it out etc.This is why I feel the way I do. Unless I see an uptick in several of those points I would fire after we see what he can do in another year or get someone who can do something.

People are just upset, and understandably so. This is all just heat of of the moment and hard for everyone to think objectively. I was so excited after last season but even so, when Thill went down in August I knew the season was over. All I can hope for is if they get a high pick to help us for next season. Since they won't be winning a super bowl this year there's no need to mess up the team by winning.
I know I'll get hate for talking about flopping the season, but I think it's unfair to the team and it's fans for them to win if it hurts them in the long run
 
I'm willing to give him as much time as it takes to get Tannenbaum fired.

If he coaches well, hopefully he'll outlive Tannenbaum's tenure. If not, hopefully he takes the trash out with him when he leaves. The worst possible thing that could happen to this organization is if Tannenbaum convinces Ross to let him pick the next coach.
 
If not for the atrocious play calling i've witnessed that he admits comes right out of his headset Id be more willing to give him some rope BUT seeing is believing and its obvious by the results that he cannot read the situation and call the correct play.

Next!
 
Comparing him to Sparano is exactly what you should do; learn from the past. Fire him now and move on from the sinking ship.
 
As I always say, give the coach five years to bring a SB as long as the team made the playoffs within the first three years.

Gase already brought us in the playoffs, so he should stick around til 2021offseason.
 
I'd give him 2 more seasons to turn it around. He's earned some leeway from me after a good first year. And losing QB very unlucky on him.

He's doing a few things that I really don't like - sticking with Cutler, Thomas etc, and I'd like to see him start some of the younger lads. But I don't always like what coaches of teams I follow do, he still deserves time to do it his way. He's learning on the job.

Blowing everything up every couple of years is never going to work.
 
Two more years. I don't really believe he will succeed but you can't just fire him because you don't THINK he will succeed. What kind of message would that send and who in their right mind would want to come here to coach?

I haven't been surprised at the strong turn against Gase so quickly...I actually read the game thread after the game, so no reaction is too fast for this place.

I have always wanted either a well established older battle tested coach whose had success throughout his career, or a young, smart, hungry and somewhat ****y coach. I always leaned toward the latter, but wasn't sure in this day and age of instant gratification (yes, I realize we have been waiting somewhat longer than "instantaneous ", which also plays a part) a younger coach would get the time needed to become a coach who constantly puts a good product out on the field.

I would like to see Gase given at least 2-3 more years. Give him a chance to get more of " his guys" on the team throughout the roster.

Some will call them excuses, I call it reality.

Young coach
Took over a pretty crappy team.
Made gutsy mid-season cuts.
Made playoffs.
Lost starting qb
Dealt with a hurricane.
Dealt with a veteran ball player going AWOL out of no where.
Made a decision to get rid of a very talented player in AJayi.
Young passionate immature players (should have put that next to young coach which creates it's own dynamic)
Dealt with a "white powdery substance"
And he himself has made mistakes too (Cutler, but I get it)

Those are above and beyond normal "bumps in the road" that a 1st time coach faces.
