The New York Jets are hiring Brian Duker to serve as the team’s new defensive coordinator, according to a report from Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The 36-year-old coach makes the move to New York after most recently serving as the pass game coordinator and secondary coach for the Miami Dolphins.
Brian Duker brings significant experience to the Jets' defensive staff, having previously worked with the Detroit Lions. During his tenure in Detroit, Duker formed a close professional bond with Aaron Glenn. According to the report, Duker will now reunite with Glenn in New York as they look to lead the Jets' defensive unit.
Duker's hiring is a key step for the Jets as they finalize their coaching staff for the upcoming season. He is widely regarded for his work with defensive backfields and pass-game schemes, which were central to his roles in both Miami and Detroit.
