The 'Fire Adam Gase' Movement Just Got Real With Backing of FireJohnIdzik.com Masterminds

The group that helped fire John Idzik is back at it again. Complete with a GoFundMe page. 

Formerly known as the masterminds behind FireJohnIdzik.com, the very same group is signaling that things are in the works for another protest. Now under the banner of New York Sports Fan Media, the group, led by mastermind Jason Koeppel, appears poised for another protest. 

The Jets are 1-7 and lost 26-18 on Sunday against the then winless Miami Dolphins. Jets fans at the game were spotted with brown bags on their heads.

Gase is just eight games into his first season on the sidelines with the Jets. He has endured a number of bad injuries and has a roster that is clearly among the worst in terms of overall talent in the NFL. 

The group came together five years ago to help rouse fan support in a protest of Idzik, the then general manager. Billboards calling for Idzik to be fired and a plane flying over practice as well as a pregame before a home game at MetLife Stadium with a similar message typified their efforts. 

The group already has t-shirts in place and has raised several hundred dollars towards their goal of $25,000 to formally protest Jets management, in particular head coach Adam Gase and owner Christopher Johnson. 

On their GoFundMe, the group writes:

"The Adam Gase experiment is over. The Johnsons need to (AGAIN) admit that they made a TERRIBLE hire and cut bait sooner than later.  

 

"This time, the Johnsons MUST allow their general manager Joe Douglas (who has our FULL support) the power to hire a coach that he is comfortable working with. 

 

"Christopher Johnson has no place being involved in an NFL head coaching search. He is clearly not qualified to handle that job. "

A year after Idzik was fired, the Koeppel-led group pranked the New England Patriots practice, flying a plane overhead that hauled a message of ‘Cheaters Look Up.’ The stunt garnered local and national attention as numerous Patriots players were seen staring up at the plane, which flew for several minutes over their practice field.
