New York Jets Hire Brian Duker as Defensive Coordinator

The New York Jets have officially hired Brian Duker as their new defensive coordinator, following a weekslong search. Duker, who previously served as a defensive assistant with the Miami Dolphins, takes over the position with Aaron Glenn likely to handle play calling duties. This surprising hire comes amidst reports of the Jets interviewing other candidates, including Wink Martindale and Jim Leonhard. With Duker on board, the Jets are looking to revamp their defensive strategies and improve their performance on that side of the ball.
