Overview

• Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn has declined an interview with the New England Patriots but is set to meet with five other teams, including the Jets and Saints.
• Glenn is considered a top candidate for multiple head coaching roles, with the Saints reportedly favoring him due to his prior tenure with the team and strong defensive record.
• Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson has also drawn significant interest, scheduling interviews with the Raiders, Patriots, Bears, and Jaguars, though he may remain in Detroit if the fit isn’t ideal.
• Johnson led Detroit to the NFL's highest-scoring offense this season, while Glenn’s defense ranked seventh in scoring despite numerous injuries to key players.
• Patriots owner Robert Kraft is moving quickly to fill the head coaching vacancy after Jerod Mayo’s firing, with other candidates including Mike Vrabel, Byron Leftwich, and Pep Hamilton.
