Jets OC Gailey retires; 5 other assistants fired

The New York Jets' coaching-staff shake-up is underway.

Chan Gailey, who served as Todd Bowles' offensive coordinator the last two seasons, announced his retirement on Tuesday. His departure was anticipated.

Gailey, in a statement released by the team, said he informed Bowles before the start of the season that this would be his final year. He turns 65 next week.

The Jets will have their fifth coordinator in seven years in 2017.

In addition, Bowles fired five position coaches: Kevin Patullo (quarterbacks), Marcel Shipp (running backs), Pepper Johnson (defensive line), Mark Collins (outside linebackers) and Joe Danna (defensive backs).
