Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn is unquestionably in high demand for the available head coaching positions throughout the NFL.

Glenn spent time during the bye week interviewing for several of those positions. The fourth-year coordinator has generated interest throughout his time with the Lions, which has allowed him several opportunities to participate in the interview process.

On Wednesday, Glenn explained what he has learned throughout the years of going through the interviews and how he has developed in that area.

“I think you learn a number of things from each year that you go through them, and you try to improve on those each year,” Glenn said. “But the one thing that I get out of all these interviews is, ‘Man, I’m gonna be myself, and either you like it or you don’t.’ If you don’t, all good. I keep telling you that I have a great job here. If you like it, and it’s an opportunity that I think is best for me and my family, then I’ll take a look at it. But had a really good time over the bye week looking at those. Now, we’re all locked in, ready to go play this game against Washington.”

New England

While Glenn was requested for an interview for each of the six available coaching vacancies, he reportedly declined the request from the New England Patriots. New England wasted little time hiring Mike Vrabel, who played for the organization, as its head coach.

Glenn did not outright confirm or deny whether he denied the request, but implied that he didn’t feel the job was the best possible situation.

“I’ve never felt anything against that organization,” Glenn explained when asked by Lions OnSI. “It just wasn’t the best situation for me.”
