Jets Add Robert Nunn as D-Line Coach

Head coach Todd Bowles has hired Robert Nunn as the Jets' new defensive line coach.

Nunn, who is beginning his 18th season as an NFL assistant coach and who has experience with both 4-3 and 3-4 schemes, spent the 2016 season coaching the Cleveland Browns' defensive line.

He is familiar with MetLife Stadium, having coached Jason Pierre-Paul, Justin Tuck, Osi Umenyiora and the Giants' D-line from 2010-15. In those six seasons, among NFL D-lines, the Giants were fifth in sacks (191) and unofficially first in forced fumbles (55), first in pass defenses (98), third in tackles for loss (280) and fourth in QB hits (419).
