Glenn is scheduled to meet virtually with the Jacksonville Jaguars and\u00a0Chicago Bears\u00a0on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The New England Patriots requested to interview Glenn, but he\u00a0reportedly turned down their request<\/span>. It’s unclear why he turned down the Patriots.<\/p>\n

Ben Johnson<\/h2>\n

Johnson joined the Lions in 2019 as an offensive quality control coach. After three seasons bouncing between roles within the organization, he was was promoted to offensive coordinator.<\/p>\n

Detroit led the NFL in touchdowns scored this season, and each of the last three seasons it has finished in the top 5 in scoring.<\/p>\n
