By Mummy Grace Defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn’s strategic performance against the Vikings played a significant role in securing a first-round playoff bye for the Detroit Lions. As the Lions enjoy their time off, Glenn is leveraging the opportunity to interview for head coaching positions with several NFL teams, including the Jets, Saints, Bears, and Jaguars. The interviews will take place remotely from Thursday to Sunday.
At this stage in the process, all interviews are conducted remotely, but in-person meetings will be permitted after the divisional round. However, teams advancing to the conference title games will have to wait until their season concludes to conduct in-person interviews. Glenn’s success with the Lions’ defense and potential playoff run could influence his candidacy for a head coaching position, depending on how far Detroit advances this postseason.
