The New York Jets have officially hired a new defensive coordinator. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Wednesday morning that the Jets had agreed to a deal with Miami Dolphins defensive pass game coordinator/secondary coach Brian Duker to join Aaron Glenn's staff.
The process to get to this point has been a mess, to say the least. The Jets seemed to zero in on veteran assistant Wink Martindale early in the process, with all signs indicating that the two sides would reach an agreement this past weekend.
But for whatever reason, those plans fell through, and Glenn proceeded to change his entire coaching philosophy in response.
