After serving as the Jets’ quarterbacks coach for one season, Jeremy Bates will take over the play-calling reins in 2018. The team made it official Wednesday that Todd Bowles has selected Bates as his new offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach. In addition, the team announced the hirings of Rick Dennison and Steve Jackson to the positions of offensive line coach/run game coordinator and assistant defensive backs coach, respectively.
“Jeremy is a talented coach who has a sound understanding of what it takes to build a successful offense,” Bowles said. “Having spent last season with us, he offers continuity and has a good sense of what we need to do to improve.
