Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn will have second interviews with the Jets tomorrow and the Saints on Wednesday, source says. So one of the key dominoes could fall soon.
(@RapSheet and @MikeGarafolo first on the requests going in.)

With an early exit for the Detroit Lions in this year’s playoffs, one of the New Orleans Saints top candidates will be getting a second look a little earlier than expected.
Aaron Glenn, former Saints secondary coach and Lions defensive coordinator will be visiting New Orleans on Wednesday of this week. Glenn has already met with the team virtually during the Lions bye week but will now get an opportunity for an in-person visit his second time around.
Glenn is also set to complete an in-person, second interview with the New York Jets as well, the team who drafted him third overall in 1994. The Jets will likely be the Saints greatest competition in terms of the familiarity as well as the emotional ties to the organization. The Saints do also have similar ties to Glenn in this way as he spent the majority of his coaching career in New Orleans while also spending some time there as a player.
We should now expect things to ramp up pretty quickly with some of the league’s key candidates fully available. Stay tuned for more news and updates throughout the course of this week.
