Adam Gase is one of the top head coaching candidates across the National Football League, so he will have his pick of jobs. The 37-year-old has been a really hot name every offseason since he was the Denver Broncos offensive coordinator under head coach John Fox. When you have Peyton Manning as a quarterback with weapons like Emmanuel Sanders, Demaryius Thomas and Wes Welker around him, the job gets easier.

This year, Gase went with Fox to coach the Chicago Bears, staying in the same role. Chicago has dealt with all kinds of injuries to that side of the ball, including a season-ender to wide receiver and rookie Kevin White. Alshon Jeffery has also been in and out of the lineup, and yet the Bears have been competitive throughout the season.

The other nice thing with Gase is his age. If he is hired and turns out to be one of the better coaches in the league, the Giants could be all set at the head coaching position for the next 20 years. In addition, Gase would be able to scheme the heck out of Odell Beckham Jr. and Eli Manning, giving New York a high-octane offense in a division filled with bad defenses.
