Jets consider Gregg Williams, Vance Joseph for defensive coordinator

The Jets may not be done adding coaches whom were replaced this offseason.

ESPN.com reports that soon-to-be head coach Adam Gase is considering Gregg Williams for defensive coordinator. NFL.com reported that Vance Joseph is also up for the position.

Williams was the interim coach of the Browns after they fired Hue Jackson mid-season and went 5-3, however the offense’s revival got much of the credit for the turnaround and interim offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens earned the full-time coaching job in Cleveland. Williams has long been a controversial name in the sport for his role in the Saints’ Bountygate scandal, which led to a year-long suspension.
