Aaron Glenn

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports the Saints have requested an interview with Lions DC Aaron Glenn for their head coaching vacancy.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported earlier that the Saints were expected to file a formal request to speak with Glenn. Now, the current Lions defensive coordinator will have a chance to speak with a team he played for in 2008 and served as an assistant from 2016 to 2020 before joining Dan Campbell and company in the Motor City. Glenn has been a hot name NFL coaching cycles for the last several seasons, and will have ample opportunities to land a job for the 2025 season. The Lions, who hold the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs, could be looking at a staff overhaul on both sides of the ball if Glenn and offensive coordinator Ben Johnson both leave at the end of this season.
