Lions Coordinators Aaron Glenn and Ben Johnson Dominate NFL Head Coaching Market

Detroit's Aaron Glenn and Ben Johnson are top candidates in the NFL coaching carousel, with Glenn declining a Patriots interview and Johnson weighing his options.

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.
