Steve Wilks has agreed to terms with the Jets to become their new defensive coordinator, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported Wednesday.

The former Arizona Cardinals head coach has been selected by new New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn to become Gang Green's defensive coordinator per NFL insider Tom Pelissero.

Former Carolina Panthers coach Steve Wilks is landing in "The Big Apple." As first reported by NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero this evening, Wilks is set to be hired as the new defensive coordinator of the New York Jets.

Steve Wilks has agreed to terms to be the New York Jets' defensive coordinator under new head coach Aaron Glenn, multiple media outlets reported Wednesday night.

Glenn, who was the Lions' defensive coordinator the past four seasons, said he would not be calling the defense for the Jets. Wilks has done the job and has head coaching experience.

This former 49ers coach could be back in the NFL soon after taking a one-year hiatus in 2024 to join the Jets.

Gang Green has hired Steve Wilks as defensive coordinator, sources confirm. NFL Network first announced the news of Wilks being hired by the Jets.

According to the NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the Jets have agreed to terms with former Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks to become the team's new defensive coordinator. It's a crucial hire after Glenn made clear he did not intend to call plays for the defense in 2025.

Wilks previously spent one season as the head coach of the Cardinals, going just 3-13 en route to the No. 1 overall pick landing in Arizona for the 2019 NFL Draft. Wilks was fired which prompted the hire of Kliff Kingsbury and eventual selection of Kyler Murray.

The New York Jets have found their new defensive coordinator one week after former Detroit Lions DC Aaron Glenn became the team's next head coach.
