Overview
- Aaron Glenn decided Sunday night and informed Wilks on Monday after a 48-20 defeat in Jacksonville in which the Jaguars scored on eight of their first nine drives, their most points since 2017.
- Harris, the defensive backs coach and defensive passing game coordinator, will call the defense with Glenn assisting on game planning.
- New York’s defense has fallen to 20th in yards allowed and 30th in scoring at 28.4 points per game, with zero interceptions through 14 games and just two takeaways all season.
- The unit’s slide followed the Nov. 4 trades of stars Quinnen Williams to the Cowboys and Sauce Gardner to the Colts, which further thinned the roster.
- Wilks’ departure extends a pattern of brief tenures across multiple teams, and he is a named plaintiff in Brian Flores’ racial discrimination lawsuit against the NFL.
