Albert Breer reports the Seahawks have requested permission to interview Lions passing-game coordinator Tanner Engstrand for their offensive coordinator vacancy.
With OC Ben Johnson remaining in Motown, the league is now trying to raid the rest of the staff. 41-year-old Engstrand had never coached at the NFL level before joining Dan Campbell’s staff in 2021. He was last an offensive coordinator in 2011-12 for the NCAA’s San Diego. It’s a similar experience level to new ‘Hawks coach Mike Macdonald, whom Engstrand has never coached with but likely knows through their mutual Harbaugh connections. It would be an intriguing hire.
