Jets Fire DC Steve Wilks Following Jacksonville Blowout

Apparently the performance put forward by his defense against the Jaguars yesterday was too much for defensive coordinator Steve Wilks to survive. Head coach Aaron Glenn met with the media today and said that he has relieved Wilks of his duties the day after watching the Jacksonville Jaguars light up the scoreboard in a 48-20 win against the Jets.

There’s no denying that the Jets talent on defense is lacking. Following the trades of Quinnen Williams and Sauce Gardner, the unit was bound to take a few steps back, but the Jets recent performances are about more than talent.
