Jets Tap Brian Duker as Defensive Coordinator, Reuniting With Aaron Glenn and Emphasizing Pass Defense

Jets name Brian Duker their new defensive coordinator, reuniting him with Aaron Glenn and leveraging his Lions and Dolphins background to boost the unit’s pass defense; his 2023 Lions defense helped multiple players reach 3+ interceptions, and Miami’s defense finished top-10 in pass defense, yards allowed and scoring. He emphasizes education, earning a Towson bachelor's and Bryant MBA, and says he’s excited to coach under Glenn.

Jets tap Brian Duker to revitalize defense

One day after interviewing Brian Duker, the New York Jets hired the 36-year-old as their defensive coordinator. Duker, most recently the Dolphins’ passing game coordinator/secondary coach, previously worked with Jets coach Aaron Glenn on the Lions’ staff. He won’t call plays, as Glenn plans to handle defensive play-calling, and he replaces Steve Wilks, who was fired after a 3-11 season. The move comes amid a broader coaching-staff shake-up that also saw offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand let go, as New York seeks to turn around a leaky defense.
