The New York Jets have agreed to bring on former NFL head coach Steve Wilks as the team’s defensive coordinator under coach Aaron Glenn, according to a league source.

I actually thought he was a better DB coach and [interim] HC than he was a DC.  But...wish him the best of luck.  Hope this works out for him.  Definitely a good guy.

I have a lot of respect for Coach Wilks and wish him well in the future!  Not sure if it would have made things better or worse had he stayed here, but I'm all-in on Coach Canales.

Best Wishes, Coach Wilks!

I was sorry to see Coach Wilks leave after that fiasco. Still, it seemed to me that he was carrying a load of disillusionment around at that time. He was never really happy, nor was he particularly successful.
I think Wilks is a good coach. He needs the right team, and he needs to get down off of his "high-horse" just a little.  That lawsuit that he affiliated himself with did not serve him well.  I think he would be a good Defensive coach for the Panthers. Unfortunately, he has already indicated that he is not interested in returning here. He can be successful. I hope this is the right time and place.
