The New York Jets announced on Tuesday that they have hired three new offensive assistants. New York named Steve Marshall as the new offensive line coach, Kevin Patullo as the quarterbacks coach, and Marcel Shipp as the running backs coach.

Marshall will take over for Mike Devlin, who is now the Houston Texans offensive line coach. Marshall, 58, has spent 29 years as a college coach. He has previously been an NFL offensive line coach in Houston, Cleveland and Green Bay.

Patullo was the Tennessee Titans assistant wide receivers coach in 2014. He was on Jets' offensive coordinator Chan Gailey's staff in Buffalo from 2010 to 2012 as an offensive quality control assistant. He replaces David Lee, who followed former Jets coach Rex Ryan to Buffalo.

Shipp, only 36, will make his NFL coaching debut. In 2014, he was the running backs coach for the University of Massachusetts, where he set records as a running back during his college days. Shipp played seven years with the Houston Texans from 2001-2007. He takes over for Anthony Lynn, who was the running backs coach and associate head coach for New York from 2009-2014.

The only coaching vacancy that remains for the Jets is tight ends coach.

Here is the current, totally revamped Jets coaching staff:

Head Coach: Todd Bowles

Offensive Coordinator: Chan Gailey
