After ending the season with an AFC East worst 4-12 record, the New York Jets have officially gutted their coaching staff and hired ex-Dolphins head coach, Adam Gase to lead their organization. From a spectators standpoint, the Jets appeared to be unmotivated and lackadaisical throughout the entire season so, leadership is definitely a necessity for the franchise. Also, the team lacks standout talent and depth, the Jets will remain New York's red-headed stepchild if they continue down this path of mediocrity.
Somehow, the New York Jets still have a rather loyal fan base due to the stubbornness of New York residents but, how long can that last if the team continues to end up on the losing end of the stick every football season? Ultimately, the New York Jets were ranked 13th in fan equity, 17th in social equity, and 17th in road equity but, prior to the beginning of the 2018-19 NFL season. We have a feeling that after this season's performance, the team could have possibly take a dive in fan rankings later this year.
