Aaron Glenn is wasting no time putting his stamp on the New York Jets. The newly appointed head coach is reportedly already eyeing potential candidates for his offensive coordinator position, and one name that has emerged is Tanner Engstrand, the current passing game coordinator for the Detroit Lions. Could Glenn be looking to poach his former colleague and bring some of that Lions’ offensive magic to the Jets?
Engstrand has been instrumental in the Lions’ offensive resurgence, helping to transform Jared Goff into a Pro Bowl quarterback. His innovative play-calling and ability to maximize his players’ strengths have made him a hot commodity in the coaching world. If Glenn can lure him to New York, it would be a major coup for the Jets and a sign that they’re serious about building a high-powered offense.
But stealing Engstrand from the Lions won’t be easy. Detroit is likely to do everything they can to keep him, and other teams will surely be vying for his services. Glenn will need to pull out all the stops to convince Engstrand to join him in New York.
If Glenn can pull off this heist, it would send a clear message that the Jets are ready to compete. They’ll have a young, dynamic head coach and a creative offensive mind leading the way. But if they miss out on Engstrand, it could be a sign that the Jets are still struggling to attract top talent.
