Jets hiring Steve Wilks to be defensive coordinator as Aaron Glenn’s staff takes shape
NY Post
Aaron Glenn told everyone to put their seat belts on during his introductory news conference. Now, we are beginning to find out who is driving the Jets bus with him.
The Jets agreed to a deal with Steve Wilks as their new defensive coordinator and Chris Banjo as their special teams coordinator, sources confirmed.
Wilks, the former head coach with the Cardinals, had been viewed as the favorite to land the job since Glenn was hired.
Banjo has been the assistant special teams coach for the Broncos for the past two years.
Wilks, 55, is a veteran coach who has served as a defensive coordinator for the Panthers, Browns and 49ers.
He spent one season as the Cardinals head coach in 2018 and also served as interim coach in Carolina in 2022.
