Report: Colts request to interview Lions’ Ben Johnson, Aaron Glenn for head coach job

More NFL teams are poking around the Detroit Lions coaching staff for potential head coaching jobs in the 2023 carousel. After news first broke that the Houston Texans have requested to interview Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, another team has entered the picture.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Indianapolis Colts have requested to interview both of the Lions coordinators: Johnson and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn.

Johnson has been credited with revitalizing Jared Goff’s career while leading the fifth-highest-scoring offense in the league. Glenn is viewed as a fantastic leader largely due to his infectious personality and ability to connect to players as a former All-Pro cornerback himself.
