Aaron Glenn, the Detroit Lions‘ defensive coordinator, is gearing up for a whirlwind weekend as he interviews for five head coach positions across the NFL. While the Lions enjoy a first-round playoff bye, Glenn’s focus is split between advancing Detroit’s Super Bowl ambitions and exploring his head coaching prospects.

The interview marathon kicks off Thursday night with the New York Jets. On Friday, Glenn will meet with the New Orleans Saints in the morning, followed by an evening session with the Las VegasRaiders. Saturday brings another full day, with interviews scheduled with the Jacksonville Jaguars in the morning and the Chicago Bears at night.

Interestingly, Glenn declined to meet with the New England Patriots, fueling speculation that the team may already have its eyes set on a candidate, possibly Mike Vrabel.
