Glenn walked into the locker room in Hempstead, N.Y., with stars in his eyes. For his rookie year, 1994, his locker was next to Lott’s. Glenn held Lott, one of the NFL greatest safeties in NFL history, then at the end of his career, in such high regard that he had a hard time speaking to him like they were teammates. He’d call him a father figure.

When Robert Saleh was hired to be the head coach of the New York Jets in 2021, it was clear the former 49ers assistant never truly understood the pressures and expectations of the job. By his first game at the helm, it was clear Saleh's energy that made him a high commodity coach wasn't there.

The New York Jets have installed the final major piece to Aaron Glenn's new coaching regime. Former passing game coordinator Tanner Engstrand has been hired to become the Jets new offensive coordinator per NFL insider Jordan Schultz.

For weeks, the idea of hiring a defensive minded coach has looked to be the way the New York Jets were leaning in their search and when they zeroed in on Glenn the only question became, who would be his offensive coordinator.

Aaron Glenn has picked his offensive coordinator, reportedly bringing Tanner Engstrand from the Lions to the Jets.
