Finally, Rams offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur spent two seasons as the Jets offensive coordinator from 2021-2023. After his second year he was scapegoated after the team lost their final six games of the season while working with a struggling quarterback in Zach Wilson.

The New York Jets hired Detroit Lions assistant Tanner Engstrand to be their offensive coordinator Friday, a league source confirmed, as new coach Aaron Glenn turned to his former team to find his leader for the offense.

Glenn, 52, returns to New York as he has been hired by the team as their next head coach. His arrival was met with plenty of excitement because of his prior connections with the Jets as a player. Now his first day in New York is in the books with his introductory press conference that went down on Monday.

The New York Jets clearly have been thinking about the head coach position for a while. New York cut ties with former head coach Robert Saleh early in October after just five games in 2024. The Jets had a 2-3 record at the time and turned to Jeff Ulbrich to replace him.

Detroit Lions passing game coordinator Tanner Engstrand is heading to the New York Jets. Engstrand will follow new Jets head coach Aaron Glenn, who has been Detroit’s defensive coordinator for the last four seasons.

Ever since Glenn was hired last week, the Jets have been linked closely to Lions passing game coordinator Tenner Engstrand – the only name to gain real traction for open offensive coordinator job.

Aaron Glenn is in the house. The job he was most interested in is now his, and he's already taking a deep dive into the workload as Jets head coach in bringing his staff together and micro-evaluating the roster with new GM Darren Mougey.

For weeks, the idea of hiring a defensive minded coach has looked to be the way the New York Jets were leaning in their search and when they zeroed in on Glenn the only question became, who would be his offensive coordinator.
