New York Jets News: Quinnen Williams Wins The Big Spike Competition

Good morning Gang Green Nation! The Detroit Lions have hired David Shaw as their new passing game coordinator. He replaces Tanner Engstrand, leaving Engstrand still employed but without a job title with the Lions. That suggests another team will likely hire Engstrand very soon. The Jets are rumored to be interested in him for their open offensive coordinator position, so perhaps that opening will be filled shortly.

If Engstrand is hired as the Jets offensive coordinator, that would make it four out of the top five coaching hires who have never worked in their current positions before. Steve Wilks has been a defensive coordinator, but Aaron Glenn has never been a head coach, Tanner Engstrand has never been an offensive coordinator, Chris Banjo has never been a special teams coordinator and Steve Heiden has never been an offensive line coach. If this is the coaching staff, we should probably expect some growing pains as the new coaches get on the job training and learn their new responsibilities in real time. This could be a bumpy ride, at least in the first year.
