Don’t bet on Adam Gase winning the Coach of the Year Award in 2020.
The Jets head coach has the worst odds out of any head coach in the league, according to BetOnline. Gase is tied with Bill O’Brien and Doug Marrone at 50:1 odds to win the 2020 Associated Press Coach of the Year.
After starting his inaugural season with Gang Green at 1-7, Gase found himself on the hot seat just eight games into his second head coaching job. From there, Gase was able to rally the Jets to a 6-2 record in their final eight games, finishing 7-9 on the season. Still, the Jets offense ranked dead last, or close to it, in most major categories.
With Gase calling the shots on offense, the Jets offensive unit ranked 31st in points per game, 32nd in yards per game and 32nd in yards per play. If offensive struggles persist in 2020, his seat will only grow hotter. With Joe Douglas adding multiple reinforcements on the offensive line, there is no longer an excuse for the Jets offense to be stuck in a standstill.
There is not a lot a leeway for Gase with the Jets having the second-toughest strength of schedule in 2020. Right now, Gase is more than a longshot to bring home the 2020 AP Coach of the Year award. Even though Gase was able to right the ship following a disastrous start, he hasn’t exactly inspired a lot of confidence in his ability to be a top head coach. In four seasons at the helm of the Dolphins and the Jets, Gase has a record of 30-35.
