On Tuesday, there was a report from WFAN that said the Jets property told Gase he would be fired.

Gase said he is not focusing on his job status.

“I don’t know if worry is really the right word,” Gase said. “It simply came to our notice then. If there’s one part of the ball that I want to make sure is correct, it’s that. It didn’t happen and that’s on me. “
