Lions’ Tanner Engstrand set to return as final NFL coordinator job filled

Late on Friday night, it was revealed that the Seattle Seahawks are hiring Ryan Grubb as their new offensive coordinator, despite the fact that Grubb had accepted the Alabama job just weeks earlier. As pointed out by ESPN’s Field Yates, this hire closes out the coaching carousel for coordinators and head coaches, as all 32 teams have now settled on those positions.

That means the path is cleared for Detroit Lions (offensive) pass game coordinator Tanner Engstrand to return. Three teams had reported interest in hiring Engstrand: the Patriots, Buccaneers, and Seahawks.
