New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn made the decision to part ways with defensive coordinator Steve Wilks on Monday in a move that many deemed to be both justified and necessary.
The Jets' defense had significantly underachieved in 2025, and the unit had become wholly uncompetitive in recent weeks. With reports surfacing that players were openly criticizing Wilks in the locker room, it's increasingly apparent that a change was needed.
Still, it’s never easy to move on from a prominent coach, especially one in his first year under a new regime with just three games remaining.
