5 NFL teams on the verge of implosion in the 2019 season

1. New York Jets

Last, but certainly not least, is the New York Jets. No team is ready for an utter implosion quite like Gang Green, and it’s actually already begun. For some reason, the Jets decided that hiring Adam Gase as their head coach was a good idea despite all the issues he had with the Miami Dolphins.

Following a 10-6 record as a rookie coach, Gase went 6-10 and 7-9 over the past two seasons but also proved to be an incredibly divisive force. He constantly butted heads with star players and sent away Jay Ajayi and Jarvis Landry in exchange for very little and then later released Mike Pouncey and Ndamukong Suh.

None of that is to say Gase can’t improve, because often times when a coach tries the tough approach and fails, he adjusts his methods. However, this doesn’t appear to be the case with the new Jets boss.

Gase appears to have come to New York with the same attitude as it wasn’t long until reports surfaced of tension between him and general manager Mike Maccagnan. Gase vehemently denied those reports, saying “it pisses me off.” Then just days later, Maccagnan was fired and Gase took over GM duties.

Shortly after this development, more stories came out suggesting that Gase “absolutely did not want to sign” running back Le’Veon Bell. That’s the same Le’Veon Bell who was given a four-year, $52.5 million deal with $35 million guaranteed this offseason.

So now a player who the offense is supposed to run through quite often is aware that a coach with a history of trading star players doesn’t want him around. This is great for entertainment purposes, but not for trying to win football games.
