Game management and execution are also front of mind for the head coach, who will take over defensive play-calling duties in 2026. Offensively, Glenn shared confidence in the identity of the team, stressing "the foundation of our offense is pretty good right now." With Smith at the helm, and new offensive coordinator Frank Reich in place, Glenn believes the unit is primed to take a step forward in 2026.
"There are some things offensively that I want to make sure that we take advantage of," Glenn said. "And that's one of the reasons Frank was high on the list -- to be able to understand exactly how he is going to create these matchups that we want to create."
Acknowledging that it's a "pressure-packed business," and sharing that "I always put pressure on myself," Glenn plans to leave no stone unturned. Even as a head coach who prides himself on having open and honest interactions dialogue with his players, Glenn said there is still room for improvement to ensure "there's clarity on what we're trying to do, and how we're trying to do it."
"There's a number of things \[to improve on\] and those are just a couple examples that I sit back and I look at," Glenn said of his self-evaluation process. "I think every year you want to improve on those things."
As he continues to navigate each step of his second offseason as head coach, Glenn said that finding ways to put his players in position to "get over that hump" remains top priority.
"How do we keep that sustainable for years to come? I want to leave a legacy, I do," Glenn said. "When I'm gone, I'm looking at this team being a team that consistently puts themselves in a place to win. But every day, there's not a day, not an hour, not a minute goes by that I don't think about that. And I look forward to trying to make that happen."
