IRVING, Texas – On the 53-man roster, the Jets have just one player returning to face his former team in defensive lineman Stephen Bowen, a 10-year veteran.
When it comes to coaches, it’s a different story, especially the ones at the top of the list.
The Jets come to town for Saturday’s game with the head coach, offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator all having coached for the Cowboys at one point, including one of the eight head coaches in Cowboys franchise history.
Chan Gailey, who spent two years as the Cowboys’ head coach from 1998-99, is New York’s offensive coordinator, opposite Kacy Rodgers, a Cowboys assistant coach from 2003-07, who runs the Jets’ defense.
