The New York Jets have promoted Jeremy Bates to offensive coordinator.

Bates was previously quarterbacks coach.

“Jeremy is a talented coach who has a sound understanding of what it takes to build a successful offense,” Todd Bowles said in comments on the Jets website. “Having spent last season with us, he offers continuity and has a good sense of what we need to do to improve. I look forward to him working together with our offensive coaches.”

The Jets parted ways with John Morton this offseason.
