Aaron Glenn is in the running for the Bengals’ defensive coordinator job. On Thursday, the Bengals requested an interview with the Saints secondary coach, according to Josina Anderson of ESPN.com (Twitter link). 
Glenn caught the Bengals’ eye earlier this month after deals with Jack Del Rio and Dom Capers went south. Glenn lacks the previous DC experience of Del Rio and Capers, but he is a highly respected coach with recent playing experience.
Glenn played for the Jets, Texans, Cowboys, Jaguars, and Saints over the course of his 15-year career, which ended in 2008. In 2012, he hooked on with the Jets as a personnel scout and later joined the Browns as their assistant DB coach. The Saints brought him on board as the top DB coach in 2016 and he may now have a chance to vault up the coaching ladder.
The Saints’ secondary has lacked talent in recent years, but Glenn has been lauded for developing the younger players in his group.
I have no idea whether Glenn is qualified to be a defensive coordinator yet, but I hope he gets the gig even though I can’t stand the Bengals. Glenn was always a really smart player and good leader.
It’s like they are at a point that they will only interview someone they know will accept the job. What a debacle
That’s the risk you take when you hire a HC who’s team is still in the playoffs. Most of the prime assistants are already gone.
