NEW YORK, N.Y. - Chan Gailey is returning to the NFL to run the New York Jets offence.The former Dallas and Buffalo head coach will be the Jets offensive co-ordinator under new coach Todd Bowles, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.Gailey was out of football the last two seasons after being fired as the Bills coach after the 2012 season. But Bowles, who was 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 the hiring.The 63-year-old Gailey replaces Marty Mornhinweg as the Jets offensive co-ordinator after New York struggled with consistency, particularly with quarterback Geno Smith, on offence. The Jets finished 22nd in overall offence this season, but were last in the NFL in passing.Hell try to put Geno, if he is indeed the guy, in a position where hell be playing with a lot of confidence, said former Steelers coach Bill Cowher, who had Gailey on his staff for four seasons. Thats what I like about Chan, is his ability to be flexible and get the players to understand and, at the same time, believe in what theyre doing.Along with Bowles and new general manager Mike Maccagnan, hired Tuesday, Gailey will try to upgrade the offence and determine whether the Jets will move forward with Smith or perhaps look elsewhere in free agency or the draft.I have great respect for him, Cowher, now a studio analyst for CBS, said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. I think hes a very good playcaller. He knows how to get the very best out of what he has. Hes not married to a certain system. I think the biggest thing with Chan is that hes got diversity.Gailey has had several coaching stops at the college and NFL levels, including serving as head coach at Troy State, Samford, Georgia Tech and in the World League. In addition to being Cowhers offensive co-ordinator for two of his four seasons in Pittsburgh, Gailey was in the same role under Dan Reeves in Denver, Dave Wannstedt in Miami and Herm Edwards in Kansas City.While his head coaching record of 34-46 — 18-14 in Dallas and 16-32 in Buffalo — might not excite Jets fans, Gaileys work with offences is still very much respected around the NFL. And, the two-year layoff is of no concern to Cowher.Chan has been in the game long enough, Cowher said. For a first-time head coach, there are things that will come up that you have never experienced before, and Chan has been there. Hes selfless, hes loyal and I think hell be a great resource to Todd, in particular on his side of the ball while he takes care of what hes going to do on his side of the ball.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Authentic Miami Dolphins Jerseys .

Miami Dolphins Michael Deiter Jersey .C. -- The RBC Cups semifinal participants were decided by a pair of overtime games.NEW YORK -- Theres little margin for error, and the New York Knicks know it. They need a big finish to the regular season, and after the way theyve started the last two games, maybe they have one in them. Carmelo Anthony scored 18 of his 29 points in the first quarter, sending the Knicks to a rare easy night in a 108-81 victory over the Utah Jazz on Friday. With a long way to go to get back into playoff position, the Knicks won their second straight following a seven-game losing streak. They began a favourable portion of their schedule by opening an early double-digit lead and remaining comfortably ahead the rest of the way. They scored 39 points in the first quarter, their best in any period this season, after scoring 38 in the opening 12 minutes at Minnesota on Wednesday. "Last two games is, we had no choice," coach Mike Woodson said. "Time is somewhat running out and every game is important." Anthony added a season-high eight assists while playing just three quarters of a game that wasnt competitive for long after the opening tip. J.R. Smith had 17 points and Tyson Chandler finished with 16 points and 11 rebounds for the Knicks, who led by as many as 32. "We can either cave in and let teams beat the hell out of us, or we can come out there fighting," Smith said. "Thankfully we are coming out here fighting and it starts on the defensive end." Amare Stoudemire, who has moved into the starting lineup along with Smith, scored 10 for the Knicks. They visit Cleveland on Saturday to play one of the teams in between them and Atlanta, which currently holds the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. New York entered play 5 1/2 games behind the Hawks. The losing has wrecked Anthonys hopes of putting off discussion about his free-agency plans until after the season. His brief postgame questions were focused on reports that Chicagos Joakim Noah talked to him about joining the Bulls, and that the Knicks had spoken to Phil Jackson about a role in the organizations management. "Its ggoing to be more stories coming out, more speculation, everybodys going to have their own take on different stories, so for me Ive got to focus on playing ball and thats it," Anthony said.dddddddddddd He did it well Friday, despite battling a cold. Anthony scored New Yorks final 11 points in the first quarter, with a four-point play and another 3-pointer in the final 38 seconds as the Knicks opened a 39-22 lead on 70 per cent shooting. New York stretched the lead to 21 late in the second quarter and was ahead 60-41 at halftime. New York is 23-40 but still has playoff aspirations due to all the weak competition at the bottom of the East. The Knicks upcoming schedule gives them hope, with games against Philadelphia, Boston and Milwaukee, all among the NBAs worst teams, next week. They had no trouble with the Jazz, another lowly squad that lost to the Knicks for the fifth straight time. Gordon Hayward and Alec Burks each scored 18 for the Jazz, who dropped their fifth straight and fell to 0-5 on their six-game, nine-day trip that ends Saturday in Philadelphia. "I thought for two or three months weve played pretty steady basketball, right around .500 basketball. For us that was a step in the right direction," forward Richard Jefferson said. "Now were at the end of the season, youve got a lot of guys playing minutes that theyve never played before. We can see fatigue, frustration. A lot of things are coming into play, but youve got to stick with it." NOTES: The Knicks will take part in a news conference Monday at the Westchester County Center in White Plains, N.Y., with county and NBA Development League officials to discuss their plans to bring a franchise to Westchester. ... Blown out in Chicago on ABC last Sunday, the Knicks had their April 13 rematch with the Bulls in New York booted off the network Friday.
