If you’re trying to figure out who was to blame for the Jets recent 3-14 season, just be sure you know it wasn’t Aaron Glenn. During the season, defensive coordinator Steve Wilks was the problem. Last week, it was the QB coach, the linebackers coach, the defensive line coach and multiple assistants. And today, offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand is was to blame.
The first-time OC has been let go by Gang Green after it was first suggested that he would be demoted but work with the incoming OC, whoever that may be. As it turns out, Engstrand wasn’t to keen on the idea and said he would rather go elsewhere, and now he’s free to do just that.
So now Aaron Glenn, after saying at his end-of-season presser that being a rookie head coach isn’t easy, has re-created the scenario any rookie head coach would have to work in. Players will be adjusting to a new offensive coordinator, new defensive coordinator, and all of the aforementioned position coaches.
This will likely mean another lost season in 2026, with a full house-cleaning and a top three pick twelve months from now. So if you were hoping to put a wager on any future outcomes regarding the Jets or any other contest, here’s the source where you can do it.
With other teams having started their hiring process for new coordinators beginning three weeks ago, the Jets will scramble to add an offensive coordinator while meeting the league’s Rooney rule, which will require they interview two minority candidates for the position. With the Jets rumored to be honing in on Frank Reich for the role, they may be left staging interviews with candidates who know ahead of time that they will not be getting the job.
Never a dull moment at 1 Jets drive as Tanner Engstrand is the latest casualty of a failed season.
