Currently, the Detroit Lions feature two highly sought-after head coaching prospects in offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn.
During a media session on Wednesday, Johnson addressed questions about Glenn’s potential as a head coach, which should generate enthusiasm among teams considering Glenn for a coaching position.
This season, Glenn has successfully led the Lions’ defense, showcasing impressive performance on the field.
Detroit’s defense finished the regular season ranked fifth in rushing defense and seventh in scoring defense, standing out as one of only seven teams with 16 or more interceptions.
Having played 15 years in the NFL as a cornerback, Glenn’s extensive experience enhances his credentials.
His career spanned five franchises: the New York Jets, Houston Texans, Dallas Cowboys, Jacksonville Jaguars, and New Orleans Saints.
Considering his history, Glenn could be an excellent fit for one of his former teams, particularly the New York Jets.
The Jets could benefit from the insight of a former player in their organization, while Glenn’s defensive acumen would complement their already talented roster.
Additionally, his previous teams, the New Orleans Saints and Dallas Cowboys, might also pursue Glenn if circumstances align favorably for the 52-year-old coach
