The New York Jets have fired offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand after just 12 months as another coach pays the price for their dismal season.
The Jets finished 3-14 in Aaron Glenn’s first season as head coach and radical change is needed to turn the struggling franchise around.
The Jets lost their last five games by being outscored 188-46 to put an ugly capper on a 15th straight year without a playoff appearance.
Overall, there were plenty of mistakes, including the ill-fated decision to have Justin Fields be the starting quarterback to hiring the since-fired Steve Wilks as the defensive coordinator.
Now Engstrand has been let go after following Glenn from Detroit when he was named head coach last year.
The 43-year-old was on the Lions’ staff since 2020 and served as their passing game coordinator for his final three seasons.

Glenn refused to blame the season on anything or anyone but himself, saying he needs to do a better job.
‘Listen, we’re frustrated about this season,’ Glenn said. ‘I know the players are frustrated about it also. But there´s also faith that comes with that.
‘And that´s the fact we went through this whole year to be able to learn a ton about ourselves, about the roster, about how we can get better. And I have total confidence in that and I want the fans to have total confidence in that also.’
