The Jets now need two new coordinators just one year into Aaron Glenn’s time as head coach.
Tanner Engstrand is out as offensive coordinator after he and Glenn could not reach agreement on a role going forward. Glennfor his coaching staff entering 2026 and some of those involved having someone other than Engstrand call plays.
After days of discussion, the two sides decided it was better to move on. Glenn will now begin a search for Engstrand’s replacement in earnest. He has already talked with several veteran offensive coaches about joining his staff in some role. Now, they can be interviewed for the coordinator role. The Jets must interview two minority candidates from outside the organization to be Rooney Rule compliant before hiring the new coordinator.The New York-Boston sports rivalry wasn’t supposed to be like thisGlenn has already been searching for a new defensive coordinator after firing Steve Wilks in-season. He has been interviewing candidates for that role for several weeks. The Jets announced they did a virtual interview with Brian Duker on Tuesday. Duker worked with Glenn with the Lions from 2021-23 and was the Dolphins defensive passing game coordinator in 2024-25. It will be interesting to see what candidates Glenn can attract for the offensive coordinator role. SNY reported that he has spoken to former Colts and Panthers coach Frank Reich. It is not an attractive job. The Jets have no quarterback at the moment and Glenn is going to be perceived to be on the hot seat entering Year 2 after going 3-14 in his first year. Engstrand is the latest Jets offensive coordinator to last a short time on the job. The Jets have not had an offensive coordinator last more than two seasons on the job since Brian Schottenheimer was in the role from 2006-11.
