Gailey could also find an offensive coordinator position alongside current Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator Todd Bowles if Bowles is hired as a head coach, reports Mike Garafolo of Foxsports.com

Gailey worked with Cleveland Browns general manager Ray Farmer in Kansas City in 2008, when Farmer was the Chiefs' director of pro personnel and Gailey was the team's offensive coordinator.
