Jets’ shocking Tanner Engstrand decision caps disastrous coaching search

The New York Jets have taken what can only be described as an “unorthodox” approach to their coaching search this offseason. And on Tuesday, Aaron Glenn may have played his strangest card yet, parting ways with offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand.

The Jets had been heavily considering demoting Engstrand over the last few days, with the team planning to bring in a veteran offensive assistant — perhaps someone in the mold of ex-NFL head coach Frank Reich — to be their offensive play-caller.

The plan seemed to be to find a new home for Engstrand on the staff, quite possibly while retaining his offensive coordinator label.
