Caley may be the better overall fit for New York, but he's also more coveted than Engstrand which means he may not even come to the Jets in the first place. In that regard, Gang Green fans shouldn't be discouraged if they end up with the Lions quarterback coach. The 42-year-old is still a strong candidate for the role.

After an extensive head coaching search, the franchise settled on Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, who played eight seasons for the Jets from 1994-2001. In addition to rebuilding the roster, Glenn is also tasked with channeling that roster's efforts in a positive manner to ensure history does not repeat itself in 2025.
