After a one-year stint as head coach at [[Samford University]], he returned to the NFL with the [[Pittsburgh Steelers]]. After starting off as coach for the [[wide receiver]]s, then moved up to [[offensive coordinator]] for the [[1996 NFL season|1996]] and [[1997 NFL season]]s. The Steelers won their division all four years, and made one Super Bowl appearance.
In [[1998 NFL season|1998]], Gailey was hired to take over a struggling [[Dallas Cowboys]] squad (as operated by [[Jerry Jones]]), one that had faltered under [[Barry Switzer]] during his last year. Gailey's Cowboys won the [[NFC East]] in 1998, and made the playoffs under his two years at the reins, although they failed to win a playoff game. Gailey is the only Cowboys coach to have never missed the playoffs with his team. Gailey is also sometimes referred to by fans as "the forgotten coach" of Dallas. Jones later stated his regret at firing Gailey after two seasons.<ref>[https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/dal/ Dallas Cowboys History]</ref><ref>https://www.espn.com/blog/dallas-cowboys/post/_/id/4748113/chan-gailey-jerry-jones-horror-stories-not-true</ref>
