This is your Monday morning after the end of the season NFL firings thread.
I was tied up last night, so I didn’t have a chance to note this then, but: Adam Gase was fired Sunday night as head coach of the 2-14 Jets. He was 9-23 over two seasons.
After going 7-9 in his first year, the Jets opened this season with 13 straight losses, the longest losing streak in franchise history. It was a tailspin that Gase could not recover from. Gase gave up most of the play-calling, but nothing helped. The Jets ended up winning two games in December to save some face and cost themselves the No. 1 draft pick, infuriating their fan base. The defense allowed a franchise-record 457 points. Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams was fired last month after a last-second loss to the Raiders.
This morning’s batch of firings so far:
Doug Marrone out in Jacksonville after 4 seasons and going 1-15 this season. But hey, they got that first round draft choice!
Marrone lost 21 of his last 24 games, including going 12-36 since leading the Jaguars to the AFC championship game and winning the AFC South title during the 2017 season.
He was 24-43 overall in his time with the team.
Anthony Lynn out as coach of the worthless LA Chargers. (Apologies for the ESPN link, but the LAT is obnoxious.)
He’d also been with the team for four seasons, and was 33-31 overall, with a 1-1 record in the postseason, and went 7-9 this year.
