After interviewing for four head coaching vacancies over the past two seasons, the Detroit Lions are giving Aaron Glenn more security as defensive coordinator.
ESPN reported Thursday that the Lions are in the process of signing Glenn to a multi-year contract extension.
The Lions finished with the NFL's 32nd-ranked defense last season, but Glenn was set to return in 2023 after overseeing a series of midseason changes to scheme and personnel that helped the Lions finish with their first winning record since 2017.
The Lions tied for 28th in scoring defense and finished last in yards allowed, but went 8-2 over their final 10 games after a 1-6 start.
