The Detroit Lions seem to be bracing for the departure of pass game coordinator Tanner Engstrand, who is the leading candidate to become the New York Jets’ next offensive coordinator.

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Lions have already identified Engstrand’s successor. The team has reportedly agreed to a “multiyear deal” with former Stanford head coach David Shaw.

Shaw has an extensive coaching background dating back to 1995, but he notably began his NFL career alongside new Lions offensive coordinator John Morton with the Oakland Raiders. While Morton was gaining experience as an offensive assistant from 1998-99, Shaw served as the Raiders’ quality control coach. Both would eventually rise through the ranks, with Shaw becoming the Raiders quarterbacks coach in 2001 and Morton later becoming the tight ends coach.

Shaw has coached quarterbacks, wide receivers, and running backs, but he is best known for his 12 years as head coach at Stanford, where he compiled a 96-54 record, including three top-10 finishes. He was named Pac-12 Coach of the Year four times and won two Rose Bowl titles during an eight-year stretch of consecutive winning seasons for the Cardinals. Over his tenure, Shaw worked with talents like Andrew Luck and Christian McCaffrey.

After four consecutive losing seasons at Stanford, Shaw stepped down and took a year off from coaching in 2023. However, he returned last year as a senior personnel executive with the Denver Broncos.

Shaw’s hiring is the latest move in a series of coaching changes for the Lions.

 

Gasps echoed through the chapel when Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr — the two surviving Beatles — walked side by side to the front, guitars and drumsticks in hand, ready to pay their respects to Ozzy Osbourne with a tribute no one could have imagined. Dressed in black and visibly emotional, Paul began softly strumming his guitar as Ringo tapped out a slow, heartbeat‑like rhythm, creating a sound that filled the room with both grief and gratitude. Paul’s voice, aged but still unmistakably his, broke as he sang words of farewell, calling Ozzy “a true original who lived louder than life itself.” Witnesses said the moment felt like time stopped — two of music’s greatest legends honoring another, transforming the funeral into something more like a spiritual communion than a service. Tears streamed down faces as Ringo’s quiet harmonies joined Paul’s, their music echoing through the chapel like a prayer. By the end, Paul placed a single white rose on Ozzy’s casket, whispering, “From one legend to another,” while Ringo rested a hand on Paul’s shoulder — a final, unforgettable goodbye to the Prince of Darkness.
It was the kind of scene no one thought they’d ever witness — Paul McCartney, Elton John, and the full force of Metallica standing shoulder to shoulder under a single spotlight, delivering a thunderous yet heartbreakingly tender tribute to Ozzy Osbourne that shook the arena to its core, and as McCartney’s trembling voice opened with a stripped‑down verse of “Changes,” Elton took over with a soaring chorus that brought the audience to its feet, just as Metallica’s guitars roared in, turning the elegy into a rock‑and‑roll requiem so powerful that even hardened fans were seen sobbing uncontrollably, and witnesses say the three legends locked eyes mid‑performance, visibly holding back tears, before McCartney shouted, “This one’s for you, Ozzy!” sending a wave of cheers and wails through the crowd, while giant screens flashed rare, unseen footage of Ozzy’s life, from his wildest stage moments to his quietest family memories, creating a gut‑wrenching contrast that left the stadium in silence when the final note fell, a silence broken only by a standing ovation for a farewell performance that felt less like music and more like a historic, once‑in‑a‑lifetime goodbye to the Prince of Darkness.FULL VIDEO BELOW 👇👇👇
This morning, July 26, at the foggy Highgate Cemetery in London, the moment of Ozzy Osbourne’s memorial became something no one could forget. Robert Plant — the legendary singer of Led Zeppelin — suddenly appeared in silence, just a few minutes before Ozzy’s coffin was carried to its final resting place. Dressed in a flowing black coat, with his silver curls cascading over his shoulders, Plant looked less like a rock star and more like an old bard — summoned by grief and memory. Between what rock once was, and what it will never be again. And when he played “Mama, I’m Coming Home,” it wasn’t just a tribute. It was a farewell sung from one survivor to another, from one titan to a brother in the storm. On both sides of the road, hundreds of people dressed in black lined up, holding branches of white flowers. Some cried silently. Some knelt, placing their hands on their hearts as the coffin passed by. Others reached out — as if to touch the rebellious spirit one last time. Beside the coffin was Ozzy’s daughter — a young girl with short, purple hair full of personality, her face pale with grief. She didn’t say a word, just placed a hand gently on the coffin lid the whole way. Her tears fell silently, but made everyone around her eyes red… Details in comment 👇👇👇
