Falcons to interview Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn

The Atlanta Falcons are set to interview Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn for their head coach vacancy, Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported on Friday morning.

Glenn, a former NFL defensive back, was hired as Detroit’s defensive coordinator in 2021 after spending five years in New Orleans as the defensive backs coach for the Saints.

The 51-year-old was recently selected as the league’s best coordinator in an NFLPA poll. Glenn would be the ninth person to interview for the Falcons’ coaching vacancy. The team also interviewed Eagles offensive coordinator Brian Johnson on Thursday.

Atlanta is expected to host former Patriots head coach Bill Belichick for a second interview this weekend. While it was initially reported that Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson was requested for an interview, there doesn’t appear to be one scheduled as of yet.
