The New England Patriots are once again at the center of controversy, this time in their search for a new head coach. According to recent reports, the team has managed to embarrass themselves by disrespecting one of the top candidates for the position, Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn.
It all started when the Patriots requested an interview with Glenn, but in a bizarre move, they did not extend the same courtesy to him as they did to other candidates. This perceived lack of respect has not gone unnoticed, with many in the NFL community calling out the Patriots for their unprofessional behavior.
Glenn, who is widely regarded as one of the top defensive minds in the league, was understandably taken aback by the Patriots' approach. Instead of granting them an interview, he has decided to schedule meetings with five other teams, including the New York Jets, who have already completed their interview with him.
This developments has led many to question the Patriots' judgment and approach to their head coach search. With several high-profile candidates still available, it remains to be seen whether the team will be able to recover from this embarrassment and find the right person to lead them forward.
In related news, former New Orleans Saints player Reggie Bush has endorsed his former teammate to become the next head coach of the Saints. Meanwhile, the Patriots' search continues, with Ben Johnson still in the running, despite calls for him to walk away from the process due to the team's handling of Glenn's candidacy.
As the NFL offseason continues to heat up, one thing is clear: the Patriots' head coach search has been a disaster so far, and it will be interesting to see how the team manages to rebound from this latest setback.
