In the search for a new defensive coordinator, multiple teams have expressed interest in former New York Giants coach Wink Martindale. Reports indicate that Martindale is set to interview with the Jacksonville Jaguars next week, with the interview scheduled to take place on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Martindale's aggressive defensive style has caught the attention of numerous teams, making him a highly sought-after candidate. Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated highlighted the widespread interest in Martindale's defensive scheme, stating that "a LOT of teams are interested" in his approach.

Ian Rapoport also confirmed that Martindale has emerged as a popular figure in defensive coordinator searches across the NFL. This comes as no surprise, considering Martindale's reputation as one of the league's top defensive coordinators.

Martindale's tenure with the Giants came to an end this week after clashes with head coach Brian Daboll. Prior to his time with the Giants, Martindale served as the defensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens during the 2021 season, where he reportedly had some tensions with head coach John Harbaugh upon his departure.

With the Jaguars and other teams interested in Martindale's services, it is expected that he will be questioned about the circumstances surrounding his departure from both the Giants and Ravens. Nevertheless, Martindale's skillset and experience make him a valuable asset for any team in need of a defensive coordinator.

As the interview approaches, many anticipate a successful outcome for Martindale, who has undoubtedly established himself as one of the NFL's premier defensive minds.
