Adam Gase will be Fired Following Pats Game Sunday

The Adam Gase era is officially over.

After numerous rumors from unspecified sources via WFAN's Craig Carton and a website called uStadium, it is now official Gase will be gonzo from the Jets sidelines.

According to Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissaro of NFL.com, the Jets are expected to fire Gase following the Jets season finale in New England.

Gase went 9-22 in two years as Jets coach - a stay that felt just as long as well as tortured. He alienated the teams superstars and chased them out of town in Jamal Adams and LeVeon Bell, and ruined the development of quarterback Sam Darnold in the process.

The question for the Jets now as the move on from Gase is can the find a coach who can get Darnold on the right track, or B) do they find a coach who wants someone cheaper like Justin Fields or Zach Wilson, both of whom will be there when the Jets pick second in the NFL draft.

Likely names linked to the job inlcude: Ravens Defensive Coordinator Don "Wink" Martindale, Colts Defensive Coordinator Matt Eberflus, Titans Offensive Coordinator Arthur Smith, Chiefs Offensive Coordinator Eric Bienimey, Iowa State's Head coach Matt Campbell, and maybe Michigan's head coach Jim Harbaugh.

In short -- if the Jets are smart, and if the Johnson brothers allow Joe Douglas to search for and pick the head coach, this could be a very thorough process. Bottom line is the Jets have to get it right this time. They blew it big time when they hired Gase, especially looking back when they had Mike McCarthy, Matt Rhule and Kliff Kingsbury in the building for interviews and didn't hire either of them, settling on Gase instead.

The Johnson brothers should do themselves and the future of the franchise and butt out of this search process. No more firms. No more consulting with the likes of Charlie Casserly. No more nonsense. Get it right this time.

Jets, Dolphins and Patriots Playoff Breakdown

Here are the formuli that could get the Jets into and out of the playoff party this season: 1) If the Jets win against Seattle and Miami, they win the AFC East based on a better conference record (8-4) than the New England Patriots, even if New England wins out as well. 2) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins win out and finish at 11-5, the Jets would be 10-6, or 9-7, and probably out of the playoffs. Both New England and Miami would make the playoffs, with the Dolphins as a divison winner and the Patriots as a wild card. The Patriots make the postseason if Baltimore loses one of its final two games. 3) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins and Jets split, then the Patriots win the AFC East. The Jets will have to hope that they beat Miami to win that tie-breaker and, further, hope that they have a better conference record than the Baltimore Ravens in order to clinch the sixth seed. 4) If the Patriots and Ravens win out and the Dolphins and Jets split their final two games, then ...

Francisco Lindor Remains Red Hot as Mets Top Phillies

Francisco Lindor remains the hottest player in Queens right now. The Mets shortstop blasted two more home runs, including a three-run blast in the bottom of the eighth inning, Monday night to help propel the Mets to a 5-4 win over Philadelphia. Lindor who typically struggles in the month of April is putting together a heck of a month. Monday's two hit effort was the 10th game in the last 11 where Lindor has recorded a hit. In fact in the month of April alone this year, Lindor was hitting at .311 coming into Monday's action. On the year, Lindor is batting .284 with five homers and 13 RBI. Lindor's efforts proved to be prophetic, as the Phillies Alec Bohm crushed a three-run bomb off Edwin Diaz in the top of the ninth to cut the Mets lead to a single run. Fortunately for New York, Diaz was able to shut the door with strikeouts of Trea Turner and Bryce Harper. New York (16-7) has now won five in a row.

Mets Keep Rolling into Phillies Series

The New York Mets are feeling pretty good about things right now! The Amazin's swept a four game series from the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday, winning 7-4 Sunday afternoon. It was the first time since 1986 that the Amazin's had swept such a series from St. Louis. We all know what happened later that season. Well, not to get too far ahead of ourselves, because the 2025 version now faces a very stiff challenge. The Mets will face their arch rivals the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday with only two games separating the two teams in the NL East. The Mets took out Philly in the NLDS last October, so this figures to be a heck of showdown. The Mets begin a month long stretch against teams that are likely postseason contenders like the Phillies, D-Backs, Cubs, Yankees, Red Sox, and Dodgers. If the Mets (15-7) are this good, we will know for sure in a month.
