The New Orleans Saints had a ton of interest in bringing in Aaron Glenn to be their next head coach. While he did meet with the team, it appears that the interest may not have been entirely mutual.
Seeing as though Glenn chose the New York Jets at his first chance, it is clear that they were his top choice. In his introductory press conference, though, it appears that they were the only team he really considered:
I interviewed for a number of them, but I wanted this job. When I was going to my second interview, I wanted to make sure this is going to be the first second interview, because I didn’t want to leave the building without shaking Woody’s hand and make sure we had a contract. So I’m just telling you now, everything else was really out of it. It was all about the Jets, and it’s been that way from the beginning.
Glenn played for both teams, but did spend much longer in New York during his playing career. He was just most recently with the Saints, so there was some hope that he would want to return where he has some familiarity as a coach.
Instead, he was steadfast in his interest to go with the Jets and New Orleans is still scouring the market to find a head coach.
