We now know that Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is not leaving the team for another job in 2023, but the team’s other coordinator is still a candidate for job openings on other teams. Detroit defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn continues to draw interest as a head coaching candidate, and Glenn has a new suitor.
The Arizona Cardinals have requested permission to interview Glenn for their head coaching vacancy, per numerous reports. The Cardinals fired coach Kliff Kingsbury after a disappointing last-place finish in the NFC West,
Glenn has already had a preliminary interview with the Indianapolis Colts. Last offseason, Glenn interviewed for head coaching positions with the Broncos and Jets as well.
Glenn remains a coveted candidate despite not having a great overall defense in Detroit. He’s known for his leadership and tough-love approach with his players, as well as his aggressive nature as a defensive playcaller.
