Jets firing Steve Wilks proves Aaron Glenn is serious about accountability

After another embarrassing performance on Sunday afternoon, Aaron Glenn and the Jets have fired defensive coordinator Steve Wilks with three games remaining. Chris Harris has been named interim defensive coordinator.

This move comes after another awful showing from the defense against the Jacksonville Jaguars in a 48-20 blowout loss to fall to 3-11 on the season. For the second week in a row, Wilks's defense was not ready to play as the unit surrendered 438 total yards, including 7.4 yards per play.

The timing of this move is a bit of a surprise, considering the Jets only have three games left in what has been a miserable 2025 campaign.
