The New York Jets' defensive coordinator swap highlighted an issue that is impossible for them to fix at the moment.
The Jets made a big move this week, firing defensive coordinator Steve Wilks and replacing him with Harris, who had been their defensive backs coach. Harris’ job now is to stop the bleeding in a unit that has allowed 82 points in the past two weeks.
Jets coach Aaron Glenn fired Wilks on Monday following the Jets’ humiliating 48-20 loss to the Jaguars.

Chris Harris to now lead New York Jets defense
The New York Jets have made a change at defensive coordinator and Chris Harris is now in charge.
Chris Harris has never called plays as a defensive coordinator before, but he has a specific goal he wants his unit to hit on Sunday.
The Jets tasked Wilks with fielding a defense that, earlier this season, shipped two of the best players out of town. The Jets traded cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams to the Dallas Cowboys at the deadline in two of the biggest moves of the season.
