Coaching Staff News: Jets hire Wilks, Banjo, Heiden

Aaron Glenn's staff is coming together:

Per source, Chris Banjo and Jets are working on a deal that will make him their new special teams coordinator. Deal should be done tonight.

Banjo was Broncos special teams assistant the past two years. A big loss. Another opening on Sean Payton’s staff. #9sports
