The New York Jets are interviewing Steve Wilks and Chris Harris on Wednesday for their defensive coordinator position, multiple media outlets reported.

Glenn has already announced that he will not call plays for the Jets defense after doing so in Detroit for the last four seasons. That makes Wilks’ experience as the DC for three different teams especially valuable. Cooley has never called plays, but he would be able to use Glenn as a resource if hired.

The hiring of Aaron Curry or Tanner Engstrand isn't the most underrated move Aaron Glenn has made in New York.

New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn has moved quickly to find some of the best available staff to join his team. While not every position has been hired, he has gotten some pretty big fish overall through the first week on the job - including one former head coach.

The Jets reportedly also are hiring Chuck Harris as defensive backs coach and defensive passing games coordinator and Aaron Curry as linebackers coach.

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn returned to the Motor City to find his offensive coordinator, tabbing Lions' passing game coordinator Tanner Engstrand to be his offensive play-caller.

Nearly two decades before he coached alongside Aaron Glenn, Tanner Engstrand teamed up with Darren Mougey. It looks like all three men will be together now in key roles for this new era of the Jets, as Glenn is on the verge of hiring Engstrand to be his offensive coordinator,

Mike Florio and Michael Holley explain why they think Steve Wilks will be a good fit for the Jets and reflect on his prior coaching experience.

Steve Wilks is finalizing a deal to take over New York’s defense, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. He had an interview lined up for today, so that meeting has obviously gone well. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler adds a contract will be signed tomorrow. This will mark a return to coaching after Wilks was out of the league in 2024.
