After Sean Payton announced Tuesday that he was stepping down as head coach after 16 seasons with the Saints, the franchise has to act quickly to find its next coach. We're now beginning to hear some names regarding who the Saints are targeting.
The Saints have requested to interview Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn for their open job, sources told The MMQB's Albert Breer.
Despite Detroit's struggles in Dan Campbell’s first season as the franchise’s head coach, Glenn has been lauded for his efforts as the defensive coordinator. While the Lions finished No. 29 in the NFL in total defense and surrendered the second-most points in the league, the unit was plagued by injury and made significant improvements as the season went along.
