Detroit Lions’ defensive coordinator, Aaron Glenn, recently spoke out after his interview for the New Orleans Saints’ head coach position. Glenn had been considered one of the top candidates for the job, especially after the Saints’ decision to part ways with former head coach Dennis Allen. However, in his first public remarks following the interview, Glenn made a somewhat awkward and unexpected comment regarding his future, hinting that he would be staying with the Lions.
During a press conference, Glenn was asked about his experience interviewing with the Saints, and instead of offering a clear indication of his potential move, he responded with an uncharacteristically vague statement. “I’m really just focusing on the opportunity to continue working with the Lions,” Glenn said, as the room fell into a moment of silence. He then added, “It’s been a great journey here, and I look forward to what’s next.” His tone appeared uncertain, leaving many reporters and fans unsure whether he was referring to a return to Detroit or exploring a future elsewhere.
Sources close to the Lions organization later confirmed that Glenn was indeed on the verge of signing a contract renewal with Detroit, signaling that he will likely remain in his current position. The 2023 season marked a significant improvement for the Lions’ defense under Glenn’s leadership, and his efforts have not gone unnoticed. His decision to stay with the Lions is seen as a testament to his commitment to building on the team’s progress.
Despite the awkwardness of his initial response, it seems clear that Glenn is focused on continuing the work he started with Detroit. Fans and analysts alike will now wait for official confirmation of his contract extension as the Lions continue to build their future under head coach Dan Campbell.
