Before starting his coaching career, Glenn was an NFL defensive back for 15 seasons. He was originally drafted in the first round by the New York Jets in 1994. Glenn helped turn the Lions defense around over the last three seasons and he’s considered one of the NFL’s brightest coordinators.
The Falcons are also in the process of an in-person interview with former Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. Stay up to date with each interview and interview request using our head coach tracker!
