Bowles Continues Assembling Defensive Staff, Hires DB Coach Dennard Wilson

[JetNation]

By Glenn Naughton

 

With their search for an offensive coordinator still in progress, Jets head coach Todd Bowles filled another vacancy on his defensive staff today by bringing in defensive backs coach Dennard Wilson, who will be leaving the Rams where he served in the same position.

Wilson was rumored to be on his way to Cleveland with Rams defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, but it appears that move didn’t materialize.

Told Gregg Williams will be bringing assts. Brandon Fisher, Dennard Wilson & Blake Williams to #Browns. Possibly more.

Wilson has five seasons of pro coaching experience, with each of the past two seasons being with the Rams’ defensive backs.  Prior to that he served as a scout for the Chicago Bears (2008-2011) after he was forced to retire from the NFL due a knee injury in 2004.

No idea why Cleveland fell through, but he must have been thrilled to choose between the Browns and Jets.

LOL, hand-picking position coaches one at a time ... like stacking up scapegoats for his buddy, Kacey.

[Jetdawgg]

If Macc does not add speed to the secondary no coach can make things work

[jetfan39]

reading all the negativity on this board {probably well deserved} i sometimes miss the sunny outlook of RayRay on the old JI site and then I get over it.

[68JET11]

guess that answered my question in the other thread lol... it's dumbass.

So people who can't make the cut for the Browns now go to the Jets...what a time to be alive

[DMan77]

Interesting that this guy used to be a scout too, and a CB before that... He seems pretty well respected... Not the most experienced guy in terms of coaching, but hey, the Rams were solid in the secondary last year... Lets see what happens!

I'll be happy if we can grab a few young under the radar corners in FA..coach em up' to be solid starters. Besides Burris i honestly don't care to see a single corner from 16' back in a Jet uni.

Well, we've got 3 youngsters all under 24 for him to start with and 3 vets he can see if he can salvage . Then there's Mcdougle  .

[Beerfish]

i wonder if they gave this guy the shock and awe test of showing him tape of our secondary play last year?

Bowles just hired all the guys he fired 2 years ago. The defense ate dick, and everyone lost their job... except Kacey.

I think you may have put 2 words in the wrong place, but I could be wrong .

That does not bode well for Gregg Williams that a guy left him to take a similar job at a franchise almost equal in status

What?

[Tinstar]

A well respected coach in league circles  agrees to come be a coach on the team we all supposedly love and Jet fans question his qualifications .

Amazing .

Was he required to interview a white guy before the hire?

None were available. They're all glued to Twitter waiting to be told what to yell in their internet debates next... 

[rangerous]

seems like a good hire.  hopefully he can get the corners to understand the defensive system.

Negative?  Two years ago this so-called defensive guru hand picked his coaching staff.  The defense has since sucked, and now he's picking his next dream team.  Since when does not being oblivious equate to negativity? Give me a friggin' break.

[ASH1962]

Well this hire makes me feel all warm and fuzzy, and so very optimistic about the future!

Not!

This whole charade is like having a blind person drive a bus. That person would stop and pick up whomever, then crash miserably.

Meh, Rams corners were pretty solid. Jets just need corners now.

This is the key.

Is he going to make Revis 7 years younger?

Unlikely......
