Joe Judge is actively seeking to pick his top coordinators as part of his new coaching staff for the New York Giants.
One name Judge is looking at is current Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Patrick Graham. Another current coach reportedly on the radar for the Giants is New Orleans Saints defensive backs coach Aaron Glenn.
Another NFL assistant Judge will consider for defensive coordinator is Aaron Glenn, according to a source. Glenn, 47, is the Saints’ defensive backs coach. He played 15 years in the NFL and was the Jets’ first-round draft pick in 1994. Glenn was a Jets scout in 2012 and 2013.
The Giants are seeking to replace James Bettcher, who served two season as the defensive coordinator under the now departed Pat Shurmur.
Glenn is well-known in the New York area for his long-time tenure as a player with the New York Jets. He also served two years as a personnel scout with the Jets from 2012-2013. Glenn played for 15 years as a defensive back and was a former first-round pick of Gang Green back in 1994.
Unlike Graham, who served as an assistant coach with Judge with the New England Patriots going back to the 2012 season, Glenn doesn’t have any previous ties to Judge.
Glenn has been a part of Sean Payton’s coaching staff since the 2016 season and has had a successful unit in New Orleans under Dennis Allen’s defense, which has drawn attention to him in coaching circles.
Aside from coaching the Saints’ defensive backs over the last four seasons, Glenn also served two seasons as the Cleveland Browns assistant defensive backs coach from 2014-2015.
