Mike Florio and Michael Holley explain why they think Steve Wilks will be a good fit for the Jets and reflect on his prior coaching experience.

Steve Wilks has agreed to terms with the Jets to become their new defensive coordinator, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported Wednesday.

Wilks, who replaces Jeff Ulbrich as the Jets’ defensive coordinator, also has head coaching experience. He was Arizona’s coach in 2018 and was fired after the Cardinals finished 3-13. Wilks also was Carolina’s interim coach when he replaced the fired Matt Rhule in 2022 and went 6-6 with the Panthers.
