Watch: Adam Gase’s First Act as Jets Coach Was Becoming an Instant Meme

Gase's crazed eyes took social media by storm on Monday.

The Jets introduced Adam Gase as the franchise's new leader and head coach during a press conference on Monday. Unknowingly, the Jets may have also introduced the Internet to its newest meme.

Gase, who was hired by the Jets shortly after being dismissed by the Dolphins, quickly had social media buzzing during his first media appearance with the team. But it wasn't Gase's praise of quarterback Sam Darnold that had Gang Green fanatics talking. 

It was Gase's crazed eyes.

Throughout the course of questioning on Monday, Gase could be seen intensely eyeing almost every corner of the room, even twitching awkwardly at one point during the press conference.

It didn't take long for social media to notice and chime in about the new coach's bizarre expressions.

Why Gase was in such state, we may never know, but it's clear the new Jets coach was wild-eyed about something.
