Adam Gase asks wife who just gave birth 'You good?' before leaving to meet Peyton Manning

[NOSaintsFan02]

During his years with the Dolphins, Gase lived across the street from [offensive coordinator Dowell] Loggains. Sometimes, Loggains would be jostled awake after midnight by his wife, Beth. “Adam’s at the door,” she would say.

Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills told Gase to stop texting him post-midnight because he kept waking him up.

“You would get these texts from him until 4 in the morning on a regular basis,” says [ex-Dolphins executive Mike] Tannenbaum, now an ESPN analyst. “I don’t think he sleeps a lot.”

Fueled by five or six 20-ounce cups a day from the Kuerig coffee maker that is an arm’s length from his desk, and maybe a Red Bull here or there, Gase has energy like a power plant. And it doesn’t wane in the wee hours.

There is no window in his office to make him aware of the black of the night or the first light of day.

His wife, Jennifer, says he typically gets home at 2 a.m. and goes back to work at 6. When she travels with him to road games, she gets a separate room because he’s up most of the night watching tape.

The file for Oct. 1, 2013, is particularly interesting. Every Tuesday when he was in Denver, Gase met with Manning at 2 p.m. Except this Tuesday, when Jennifer was delivering Wyatt by caesarean section.

Gase told his wife to schedule the operation for 10 a.m. “So they pulled the baby out of me and said, ‘It’s a boy,’” Jennifer says. “They didn’t even put my organs back and sew me up before he’s like, ‘You good?’ I said, ‘Yeah, I’m good.’” He said, ‘All right then, I’m out.’ They said, ‘You want to cut the umbilical cord?’ He said, ‘No, I’m good.’”

At 2 p.m., Manning was stunned to find Gase waiting for him in the meeting room.

Manning: “You’ve got to be kidding me. Didn’t your wife just have a baby two hours ago?”

Gase: “Yeah, but did you really think I was going to let you win this one?”

Imagine putting in 125+ hours a week into your job and still being incredibly mediocre at it.

Steve Spurrier worked 20 hours a week and was a better coach than this ass clown.

Jets should have chosen McCarthy and given him GM powers.

That kid is growing up neglected

Yeah NFL HC is a brutal lifestyle. You get paid a lot but zero job security and you work 100+ hours a week 11 months out of the year.

Spurrier was 12-20 in the NFL while Gase has at least taken a team to the playoffs. Do you nikkas even try to sound informed anymore?

And gase also eliminated every single piece of talent from the dolphins and expected to replenish young cheap talent, with older vets and it failed horribly, he also had a pretty big incident with a coach sniffing coke in the team facility.

Gase had control over the 53 man roster over his entire tenure, dont be throwing shade on Chris Grier, the only black GM in the league....and his entire coaching staff. This year is Griers FIRST year as GM and control over the roster. AND to add Mike Tannenbaum ran football ops until the end of last season.

People have the audacity to try to slander the HBC.

Work smarter not harder the Spurrier motto.

Nothing wrong with that
