The Detroit Lions face a tough challenge this weekend at Ford Field against rising star Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders.
Defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn has been thrust into the spotlight as speculation grows about his head coaching prospects.
On Wednesday, Glenn addressed NFL general managers and Lions fans, offering insight into his mindset ahead of Saturday’s game and sharing thoughts on potentially leading another team after Detroit’s playoff campaign concludes.
With 15 years as a player and nearly a decade as a coach, Glenn spoke candidly during a recent press conference about his approach to interviews.
“The one thing I’ve learned is to stay true to myself. Either they like it or they don’t,” Glenn said, reflecting on his head coaching discussions.
Confident yet grounded, Glenn expressed his openness to staying with the Lions next season if no suitable opportunities arise.
He recently declined an interview with the New England Patriots, signaling his satisfaction with his current role.
“If they don’t, that’s fine. I’ve told you before—I have a great job here in Detroit,” Glenn stated.
While he appreciated the chance to interview for head coaching positions, he emphasized his current focus on the Lions’ divisional playoff game against the Commanders.
Glenn’s unwavering mindset and commitment to the Lions showcase his readiness for a head coaching role while underlining his loyalty to Detroit.
As the playoff race heats up, Glenn is fully “locked in” on leading the Lions’ defense in one of their biggest games of the season.
