The Los Angeles Chargers have officially confirmed that they conducted an interview with Aaron Glenn for their head coach position. Currently serving as the defensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions, Glenn brings 10 seasons of NFL coaching experience to the table. His NFL career began as a player from 2002 to 2008, followed by a transition to coaching, starting as a scout for the New York Jets and later becoming an assistant defensive backs coach for the Cleveland Browns in 2014.
