As the NFL coaching carousel heats up, Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn are two names to watch closely. According to Adam Schefter, both coordinators are highly sought after and likely to land head coaching positions in the current hiring cycle.

Aaron Glenn’s Name in the Jets Coaching Search
Schefter, speaking about the expanding coaching search with the New York Jets, confirmed that Glenn is among the candidates in play for the Jets' head coach vacancy. The Jets are looking to make a big splash with their next hire, and Glenn’s defensive prowess is being noticed throughout the league. “I believe Aaron Glenn is in play there,” Schefter said.
Ben Johnson’s Growing Reputation as an Offensive Innovator
Additionally, Schefter expressed confidence that both Glenn and Johnson would secure head coaching jobs in the 2024 offseason. “Aaron Glenn and Ben Johnson are both gonna get jobs in this hiring cycle,” Schefter concluded.
Johnson, known for his ability to craft an explosive offense, has earned significant praise for his work with quarterback Jared Goff and wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. His success in leading the Lions' offense has led to growing interest from teams looking to improve their own offensive units.
A Strong Coaching Staff in Detroit Faces Potential Departures
The interest in both Lions coordinators comes as no surprise. Johnson has garnered widespread attention for his work with the Lions' high-powered offense, while Glenn has been instrumental in transforming Detroit's defense into one of the top units in the NFC.
With both coordinators reportedly on the verge of head coaching opportunities, the Detroit Lions may soon face the challenge of replacing key members of their coaching staff. However, for now, Lions fans can take solace in knowing that their coordinators’ success is being recognized throughout the league.
What’s Next for the Lions?
It will be interesting to see which teams make a play for Johnson and Glenn, and whether they can continue their rise to head coach status. For now, the focus remains on the Lions' playoff run, with both coordinators continuing to help guide the team toward a potential Super Bowl appearance.
