Another name can be added to head coach Jerod Mayo’s rolodex of offensive coordinator candidates.
The New England Patriots plan to interview Detroit Lions passing game coordinator Tanner Engstrand for the opening, as first reported Friday by NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport.
Engstrand, 41, played quarterback at San Diego State and began his coaching career as a graduate assistant under Jim Harbaugh at the University of San Diego in 2005. He went on to serve as running backs coach, quarterbacks coach, offensive coordinator and assistant head coach during his Torreros tenure before joining the Michigan Wolverines as an offensive analyst in 2018.
