NEW YORK (AP) – Chan Gailey is calling it a career, and Todd Bowles is shaking up his coaching staff.

The New York Jets announced Tuesday that Gailey has retired after two years as Bowles’ offensive coordinator, and five assistant coaches will not return following a disappointing 5-11 season.

Quarterbacks coach Kevin Patullo, running backs coach Marcel Shipp, defensive line coach Pepper Johnson, outside linebackers coach Mark Collins and defensive backs coach Joe Danna will not be back.

It appears that both defensive coordinator Kacy Rodgers and special teams coordinator Brant Boyer will remain with the team.

In a statement issued by the Jets on Tuesday, Gailey said he informed Bowles before this season that he would retire after the year.
