Adam Gase has had a whirlwind past week – and really four months – as the Jets' head coach.

Thursday's press conference took things to a new level, as Gase had to handle a testy room of reporters questioning every angle of Mike Maccagnan's firing, the search for a new general manager and plenty more.

To some, Gase has come off looking terrible throughout the course of these events. But in the aftermath of Thursday's press conference, plenty of fans on social media flocked to his defense because they loved his public statements and performance.

Wins and losses. That's all fans care about. Gase just spun the NY media into a circle in 10 mins after they thought they were gonna eat him #nh alive. — Drew (@DrewfromJersey) May 23, 2019

Coach Gase spoke to the media today and handled it brilliantly ... "If we win games, nobody is going to remember this. Our job is to win." pic.twitter.com/MARvpT9CCE — UK & Ireland Jets HQ (@UKJetsHQ) May 23, 2019

Overall I loved how Gase handled the Media. I don’t believe everything he said but had solid answers for the questions that were asked. Gase vs the NY media should be fun to watch #NYJ #TakeFlight #Jets — JSG Sports NY (@JSGSportsNY) May 24, 2019

The final thing Adam Gase said in today's press conference is perhaps the one thing that's 100%, definitively true: "I think our fans care if we win or lose. If we win games, nobody is going to remember this. I know that. Our job is to win. That's it. #Jets — Jason Klein (@ByJasonKlein) May 23, 2019

Jets media was too comfortable joking around with Rex and being polite with shy Bowles. Gase is shoving these nerds in the locker and not taking their snark — Mewtwo (@CodyCoyoteNJ) May 23, 2019

The questions presented to Coach Gase were ridiculous to say the least. The GM was fired, it’s been over a week now let’s move forward and get this team ready to win the division! — Joaquin Repollet 🇵🇷🇺🇸 (@jrep21pr) May 23, 2019

It is definitely a new era, Gase has a completely different style. He isn't going to make many friends but that isn't what he is here for. Refreshing in a way. — JetNation.com (@JetNation) May 23, 2019

Gase is the polar opposite of Todd Bowles.. I'm all for that. I'd rather have some people on edge as opposed to people being too comfortable. — NYTᴀᴋᴇFʟɪɢʜᴛ (@NYTakeFlight) May 23, 2019

As much as I didn't want him and all the drama thats been going on, it is refreshing to have a no nonsense dude like gase who just calls it as it is. NY media makes him sound alot more worse then he is. #Jets — Adrian Capric (@adrianncapricc) May 23, 2019

Gase did amazing, our beat writers are a bunch of vultures that are mad that Gase isn’t willing to die so they can eat him so they’re trying to eat him alive.



He was right, the only thing I care about is them winning. #takeflight — Gang Green Tom (@GangGreenTom) May 23, 2019
