[@geoffreywadsworth7400]

@Vincent Cuttolo There is a difference between using an anonymous source and letting someone try to manipulate things from the shadow. Without getting collaborating sources an anonymous source is worthless. Mehta never does this, his writing is shallow and manipulative. How about you look into the ethics of reporting and develop an understanding of the cost of using anonymous sources?

[@Tuddyboy11]

Mehta came out with an article the day before the Jets picked Gase praising him through the roof. He’s definitely a spokesperson for the team. Probably gets a free hot dog at the games just like the guy at the Post who never criticizes James Dolan after 20+ years of ineptitude.

[@danacevedo4650]

As a big time Jets fan as from "82". The greatest coaching impact that paid immediate dividends was hiring a Super Bowl winning coach with a long winning history. That was obviously Bill Parcels who is now in the Hall of Fame. We never had opportunities to hire any good coaches because of bad timing and lack of availability. For the 1st time in our history we have the closest caliber coach equivalence in Mike McCarthy who only wants to coach for us and we pass on him for another coach with a losing record and with absolutely no history of winning anything. This team has been plagued with owners who don't care about winning and a administration which is a completely inept.

[@logicsfinest3471]

Dan Acevedo facts. Professional sports team owners don’t understand the sports that they own teams in. They are no different from most fans. Even fans who go to games don’t understand the mechanics of the sport, and owners certainly don’t. That’s why they hire “football/baseball/basketball/hockey people” who can evaluate talent and hire the right people to coach that talent. But like anything else in life, it’s mostly based on politics and not merit. Owners like what they hear and go with it. Choice was simple. Adam Gase or Mike McCarthy. If anyone, especially an owner who would rather part with a coach than a superstar QB, has an axe to grind, then they will badmouth a guy and politics says, he gets a bad name. Happens in every sport. It starts and ends with the owner. Just look at my NY Giants 😞

[@jonathancarlson6127]

Joe & Evan’s critiques and fears of Adam Gase were true. Mehta’s critiques of McCarthy are proving to be true.

[@artvandelay7687]

Even though he ultimately turned out to be right about Gase, Joe completely missed Manish's point at 7:44. Manish's point was that McCarthy winning a SB in 2010 is not necessarily an indicator that he will win another one for the Jets in the 2020's. What the hell does Vince Lombardi's success have to do with anything? Yes Joe, Vince's success in the 1960's would not necessarily make him a good hire for the Jets in 2019. There are a couple of limiting factors, one of them being that he's six feet under.

[@RogerBates7]

A lot has changed since this interview... Reid won a SB, McVay went to a SB, Gase proved J&E right, McCarthy proved Manish right. Of course, that's the least of Metha's concerns these days...

I Identify with Joe, we are similar age.

I still remember watching a preseason game when Namath threw an interception and in trying to tackle the guy injured his knee. Seems like the Jets have had more than their fair share of bad luck and incompetence

Not a Adam Gase fan only because he doesn’t get along with players & with 100mill in cap space doesn’t matter if no one wants to play for the guy.

[@anthonydixon1597]

Even now several days after I can't understand how the Jets came to this decision, what boxes doesn't McCarthy check off, Gase is getting credit for working with QB's that already were developed, where was the young QB that he developed where is the experience of Winning that this organization Desperately needed right now with over 90Million to spend and potentially a franchise Qb, this important period deserved Mike McCarthy not Gase

At the time I actually thought he was the assistant GM😂

[@tonyanthonyfowler]

GET HIM JOE......HELL YEAH

[@festushaggen2563]

As a long time Packer fan I can say McCarthy is an excellent coach. Giving Rodgers all the credit is wrong. The whole time MM was there, our GM had free agent-phobia. He had to coach rookies and 2-3 year players every year and still had them in the playoffs most of the time and a Superbowl. He's a great coach. The only knock being he can get conservative in the 4th quarter with a lead and the offense can be a little vanilla sometimes. So yeah, he had one of the greatest QB's we've seen but he also had one of the youngest and most inexperienced teams every year. The guy can coach. The Jets should dump Gase and get him now because someone else will next year for sure.

[@LouSwole]

To be fair, it’s to this day considered one of the most baffling draft day falls of all time. There was zero linking between GB and Rodgers pre draft. It’s borderline inexplicable why he was still on the board when GB was on the clock. People point to the attitude but even that doesn’t really completely add up. It honestly felt like teams that didn’t do their homework on him because they didn’t think he’d be there so they kept passing.
