The Detroit Lions have not one, but two coordinators in demand for head coaching vacancies.
Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn will interview with both the Tennessee Titans and Atlanta Falcons for their vacant head coaching positions, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. They represent Glenn’s first two head coaching interviews of the cycle.

Glenn’s name coming up in coaching searches is not a surprise. He received interest last offseason too, though he did not come particularly close to landing a job. Glenn also received interest from the New Orleans Saints two years ago, prompting Dan Campbell to deliver a great quote about his importance.
Glenn’s defense has had its issues this year, but it has performed well enough of late, and players love him. His experience as a former defensive back also works in his favor. The Titans may be a more realistic landing spot for him since there is a growing favorite for the Falcons job.
If the Lions were to lose Glenn, it appears likely that they would have to find replacements for both coordinators this offseason.
