Key Highlights
- After giving up 48 points to the Jacksonville Jaguars in their latest loss, the New York Jets have fired defensive coordinator Steve Wilks with three games remaining on the 2025 schedule.
- The move comes right after Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars’ offense had their way with the Jets’ defense, which has been one of the worst teams in points allowed this season (28.4 per game). Jets first-year head coach Aaron Glenn made the announcement on Monday despite previously saying he believed in Wilks’ scheme.
- Glenn, coming from a defensive background, made the move where defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator Chris Harris will take over in Wilks’ absence.
