Steve Wilks has agreed to terms to be the New York Jets' defensive coordinator under new head coach Aaron Glenn, multiple media outlets reported Wednesday night.

Glenn, who was the Lions' defensive coordinator the past four seasons, said he would not be calling the defense for the Jets. Wilks has done the job and has head coaching experience.

The New York Jets have agreed to bring on former NFL head coach Steve Wilks as the team’s defensive coordinator under coach Aaron Glenn, according to a league source.

Glenn was hired as the next head coach of the Jets earlier this month after a four-year run as the Detroit Lions’ defensive coordinator. The Jets fired head coach Robert Saleh in the middle of last season. Glenn said earlier this week that he will not call defensive plays, so that will presumably fall to Wilks.

New Jets head coach Aaron Glenn is set to add an experienced assistant to his staff as the defensive coordinator.

Two days after introducing Aaron Glenn as their new coach, he has already made an addition to their coaching staff. Gang Green has hired Steve Wilks as defensive coordinator, sources confirmed. NFL Network first announced the news of Wilks being hired by the Jets.

Aaron Glenn told everyone to put their seatbelts on during his press conference. Now, we are beginning to find out who is driving the Jets bus with him.

After parting ways with the Panthers following their 2023 hire of Frank Reich, Wilks was hired as the defensive coordinator of the San Francisco 49ers. But despite helping the Niners reach Super Bowl LVIII, as his unit allowed the third-fewest points per game (17.5), Wilks was dismissed after just one year.

The former Arizona Cardinals head coach has been selected by new New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn to become Gang Green's defensive coordinator per NFL insider Tom Pelissero.
