NEW YORK — A person with knowledge of the situation says former Dallas and Buffalo head coach Chan Gailey will be the New York Jets’ offensive coordinator under new coach Todd Bowles.
Gailey was out of football the last two seasons after being fired as the Bills’ coach after the 2012 season. But Bowles, who was officially hired by the Jets on Wednesday, is making him a part of his staff in New York.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team has not announced Gailey’s hiring.
The 63-year-old Gailey will replace Marty Mornhinweg as the Jets’ offensive coordinator. He has also served as the offensive coordinator under Dan Reeves in Denver, Bill Cowher in Pittsburgh, Dave Wannstedt in Miami and Herm Edwards in Kansas City.
