The Jets have added another new coach to Todd Bowles’ staff.

New York has hired former Cleveland Browns defensive line coach Robert Nunn to fill the same position, according to Alex Marvez of Sporting News.

 

Nunn, an NFL coach for 11 years, was just fired by Cleveland. He will replace the recently fired Pepper Johnson in New York.

Nunn is an interesting hire for the Jets, as the Browns had the league’s second-worst run defense in 2016. Cleveland let up more than 142 yards rushing per game.

Also, Nunn has experience coaching 4-3 setups, while the Jets have typically played with three-man fronts under Bowles.

On the other hand, Nunn is familiar with New York football. He coached the Giants D-line between 2010 and 2015 before signing on with the Browns in 2016.

The defensive line is an area of strength for Gang Green, but 2016 saw stars like Muhammad Wilkerson and Sheldon Richardson play poorly. The latter likely won’t be back, but Wilkerson will look to recover from injury and rebound under his new coach, Nunn, in 2017.
