Titans interview Lions' Glenn, their 9th coaching candidate
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Titans spoke to Detroit defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn on Friday night, making him the ninth candidate interviewed virtually in their search for a new coach.
The Titans announced they wrapped up their interview with Glenn after interviewing Philadelphia offensive coordinator Brian Johnson earlier Friday.
Glenn will be coaching with Detroit on Sunday in the NFC divisional round against Tampa Bay. He has been the Lions' defensive coordinator since 2021 and was recently the top pick of an NFL Players Association survey of players as the league's top coordinator.
He also has coached defensive backs in New Orleans and was assistant defensive backs coach in Cleveland. Glenn, a defensive back, was the 12th overall pick by the Jets in 1994 out of Texas A&M and played 15 seasons.
Islanders fire Lambert as coach, replace him with Patrick Roy
The New York Islanders fired coach Lane Lambert and replaced him with Hall of Fame goaltender Patrick Roy on Saturday.
President of hockey operations and general manager Lou Lamoriello announced the stunning move to dismiss Lambert and bring in Roy, who hasn't coached in the NHL in nearly a decade.
The Islanders have lost four games in a row and six of seven to fall out of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
Lambert was midway through his second season on the job. Roy coached the Colorado Avalanche for three seasons from 2013-16 before abruptly resigning a month before training camp.
