New Jets head coach Aaron Glenn is bringing a fellow Lions assistant with him. Tanner Engstrand will be Glenn’s offensive coordinator, the team announced on Friday.
NOW OFFICIAL! We’ve named Tanner Engstrand our new Offensive Coordinator.

Engstrand, 42, was Detroit’s passing game coordinator for the past two seasons after coaching quality control and tight ends. He was believed to be a candidate for the Lions OC opening before Dan Campbell hired John Morton for that position this week.
This season, the Lions had the second-best passing offense in the NFL with 4,474 yards, averaging 263.2 yards per game.
Prior to joining Detroit, Engstand was the offensive coordinator for the XFL’s DC Defenders.
The Jets will have weapons to work with, including receivers Garrett Wilson, running back Breece Hall and a veteran offensive line. But quarterback is a big question, in addition to whether or not Davante Adams returns.
