The New York Jets parted ways with offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand after one season, multiple media outlets reported on Tuesday.

The Jets now are looking for both an offensive and defensive coordinator ahead of Aaron Glenn's second season as the team's head coach. They fired Steve Wilks as their defensive coordinator last month.

Engstrand, 43, joined the Jets last January after spending time on the Detroit Lions' staff since 2020, including as the club's passing game coordinator during the 2022-24 seasons. He followed Glenn to New York after the Jets tapped Glenn, formerly Detroit's defensive coordinator, as their new head coach.

Under Engstrand, the Jets were dead last in the NFL in passing yards per game (140.3) this season. They were ranked 29th in the NFL in points (17.6) and total yards (263.6).
