The New York Jets are interviewing Steve Wilks and Chris Harris on Wednesday for their defensive coordinator position, multiple media outlets reported.
New Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said he will not be the team’s defensive play caller.
Wilks, 55, previously served as the defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers during the 2023 season. He was fired shortly after the Niners lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl.
He also sports a 9-19 record as a head coach with the Arizona Cardinals (2018) and Carolina Panthers (2022), which came as the interim. He’s also been a defensive coordinator with the Panthers in 2017 and Cleveland Browns in 2019.
Harris, 42, was the cornerbacks coach and defensive pass game coordinator for the Tennessee Titans in 2024, but his contract expired at the end of the season. The team announced he would not return.
Harris had 16 career interceptions in 101 games (88 starts) in eight seasons with four teams, last playing in 2012. He was a sixth-round pick of the Chicago Bears in the 2005 draft.
Wilks is the favorite to land the job, according to multiple reports.
Glenn was introduced as the Jets’ head coach on Monday.
