New York Jets Hire Brian Duker as Defensive Coordinator

Brian Duker, 36, becomes the Jets' defensive coordinator after interviewing as the ninth candidate; he has two years' experience with the Dolphins as pass game coordinator and secondary coach.

  • The Associated Press reported Wednesday that the New York Jets are hiring Miami Dolphins assistant coach Brian Duker as their defensive coordinator, citing an anonymous source.
  • After firing Steve Wilks late in the season, the New York Jets had Chris Harris serve as interim defensive coordinator for the final three games, the AP reported.
  • Duker spent the last two seasons as the Miami Dolphins' pass game coordinator and secondary coach, and the 36-year-old coach has never been a play-caller, the AP reported.
  • Duker was the ninth candidate to interview and held a video meeting with New York Jets coach Aaron Glenn on Tuesday, while NFL Network first reported the hiring.
  • The AP added that the material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed without permission, including AP's 2026 copyright notice with its reporting.
