Gase spoke about his experience in Miami and about how excited he is to be able to develop a young quarterback like Sam Darnold. The only problem was that a lot of people weren’t paying attention to what was coming out of his mouth, they were too busy looking at his eyes.

It's safe to say this isn't what the Jets were hoping the discussion would be about after showing off their new coach.
