Falcons Request Second Interviews With Lions' Johnson, Glenn

Johnson, 37, is one of the hottest coaching candidates of this cycle, with six separate teams interviewing him. His Lions' offense was one of the best in the league this season, as Detroit finished fifth in points for and third in yards for. The league has had a fascination with young, offensive-minded coaches recently, and Johnson could be the next coach to fit that trend.

The Falcons just interviewed Johnson on Sunday night following his team's Divisional Round win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With so many teams in the mix for Johnson's services, it remains to be seen where he'll actually end up. At the very least, though, the Falcons are doing their due diligence with him.

Meanwhile, Glenn, 51, is a bit older than his counterpart, but still an impressive first-time coaching candidate nonetheless. The Lions' defense wasn't as strong as their offense this season, but Glenn's unit has steadily improved over his three years at the helm.

Glenn, whose first interview with the Falcons came on Friday, is a hot candidate in his own right, having interviewed with four separate teams. Other teams he's interviewed with include the Los Angeles Chargers, Washington Commanders and Tennessee Titans, the latter of which made their hire of Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan official on Monday night.

The Falcons are certainly exhausting all options in their coaching search, now up to eight candidates with second interviews.
