Jets Narrow OC Search as Falcons Hire Tanner Engstrand for Passing Game Role

New York has shifted to in-person interviews with veteran finalists after parting with Engstrand.

Overview

  • The Falcons announced Tanner Engstrand as offensive passing game coordinator under new head coach Kevin Stefanski, with reporting noting he had multiple suitors.
  • Engstrand and the Jets split after discussions about removing his play-calling duties, and several Jets assistants were reportedly surprised by late firings on the staff.
  • Greg Roman is a reported finalist and is set for an in-person interview early this week, with Darrell Bevell scheduled for an in-person meeting Monday and Frank Reich also in the mix.
  • New York’s offense ranked 29th in yards and points and last in passing in 2025, hindered by quarterback instability involving Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor and undrafted rookie Brady Cook.
  • Atlanta’s offensive staff is taking shape with Tommy Rees as coordinator and play-caller and Alex Van Pelt as quarterbacks coach, while Engstrand brings prior passing-game success from his Detroit tenure.
