New York Jets Favorite for Defensive Coordinator Revealed…

31 comments

1. Wink?….

2. League needs to shut down the franchise

3. No one will coach here that’s why.

4. I agree I'd like to see a younger person become DC. Who wants to risk their future prospects coming to the Jets? Would love Leonhard, but what happens if Glenn is fired in a tear?

5. I'd take Al Harris in a heartbeat. Jim Leonard, too. Wink? No thanks. Less than average DC in college and the NFL. Another failed year for the Jets. Way to go, Woody. Fu*kn clown.

6. One last thing – In January 2026, New York Jets beat reporters Zack Rosenblatt (The Athletic) and Connor Hughes (SNY) have been observed cross-referencing each other's reports regarding the team's defensive coordinator search. This reporting pattern—often criticized by fans as a "reporting circle"—was most prominent in their coverage of Wink Martindale as a top candidate for the vacancy. So again how reliable is their info?

7. Mike Macdonald and Jesse Minter play the same system just like Wink Martindale. Both of these coaches learn from Wink in Baltimore. I don't believe his system is old, just like every system you need the talent.

8. The fans that don’t want wink, because the game has passed him by are the same fans that want Rex back

9. bye bye Glenn

10. Sure, hire another veteran DC with an old idea of defense. Yes, I agree it’s redundant.

11. And this is why Aaron Glenn should have been fired

12. Why don’t we go for one of these proper head coaches this is the time for change and build go big or stay where we are

13. Everyone has opinion, my opinion this is not the right higher

    I am not a fan of Wink Martendell’s performance as a DC.

    AG already failed with his choice of an experienced DC in Steve Wilks

14. Jets won't make the right decision. I don't usually agree with Jake, but I do on this.

15. bottom line Aaron Glenn does not know how to pick good staff i knew Steve Wilkes was no good dog the QB coach stink linebacker coach 🦨 defensive line coach 🦨 secondary coach 🦨 man how low can you go

16. Huh?!🤔 OK so yep hiring another retread DC with a 2000’s style of defense. Oh boy another so Jets moment.

17. I'm not thrilled about Wink, but he would be a huge upgrade over Wilks

18. Don’t know what you guys wanted nobody wants to go to a coach who is half way out especially on a team with no talent. Next year is a wash and Glenn is out I hate that it’s this way but nothing to do but hope our picks make the team desirable to a better coach next year

19. Yet when I point this out about tomlin people think I'm f**** crazy

20. An unprecedented amount of quality coaching out there- like never before. Yet the Jets will continue to hire dog shit.

21. I feel like he'd ne the best one to pick if you were planning on moving on from glen after next season.

22. you guys pick and choose, ok what the fxck is John Harbaugh and Mike Tomlin then? old guys stuck in there ways refusing to change (go ask Ravens/Pit fans) no different than Wink but u would sell ur kidney to hire them… you don't know if Wink is willing to change his philosophy im sure it was discussed because what Wilk did was old, Just because AG didn't have a good first year doesnt mean he's an idiot- and he has been apart of amazing defenses and won a SB….. then if we hire a new pup like JIm Leonard, he hasn't called plays at the NFL level ever and in 4 years since college (and ull will make a video about how amazing of a hire it is), so like damn if Jets do and damn if Jets don't… this is why I hate Jets media yall never constant, Jets being bad doesnt mean be a hypocrite or criticize when they make positive moves… this would be a great hire considering there are 10 HC openings- this is a good vet hire…

23. It’s funny that Glenn goes with younger inexperienced guys for OC and special teams but then leans on these over the hill guys for DC. You would think with his defensive background that he’d be even more comfortable working with a young coordinator on the side he knows best.

24. So we are absolutely definitely getting this tool I promise you remember my YouTube name

25. We have had an in person interview with Daronte Jones per Adam Schefter so we will see we are definitely keeping most of this stuff quiet

26. IMHO – the Jets will either need to take someone outdated or brand new to the role at this point. This does not seem to be an attractive landing place for hot names right now

27. Cute thumbnail

28. Matt I love ya buddy but it’s been confirmed…DC’s are rejecting meetings with the Jets …Wink would be the only idiot to take the job I guess at this point…Thank you Todd McDouche ..Smh

29. We could do worse …

30. Yeah the beat writers who didnt know who tf was interviewing all of a sudden know who the favorite is? Sure.

31. I will burn my Jets gear and send you the video if they hire this guy. ..
