Jets Fire Defensive Coordinator Steve Wilks
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn announced on Monday that the team has fired defensive coordinator Steve Wilks, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. New York's defense was embarrassed by Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence in Week 15, who recorded six touchdowns in a 48-20 rout of New York. Through 15 weeks, the Jets' defense ranks 29th in total rushing yards allowed (1,921), 23rd in yards per pass attempt allowed (7.2), and 30th in opponent points per game (28.4). Wilks was in his first season in New York and has now lasted one season or less in each of his last three stints as an NFL defensive coordinator. Jets head coach Aaron Glenn served as the Detroit Lions' defensive coordinator for four seasons before taking over in New York, so he could assume defensive play-calling duties for the remainder of the 2025 season.
