The New York Jets made the justified and necessary decision to part ways with defensive coordinator Steve Wilks on Monday following a highly disappointing debut season for the longtime NFL assistant.
The search now begins for the next Jets defensive coordinator, and there is expected to be a number of intriguing candidates on the market this offseason. But before then, the Jets will first have to evaluate their own internal options.
Head coach Aaron Glenn announced on Monday that defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator Chris Harris will take over as the team's interim defensive coordinator.
