This is just speculation by Ralph, but it makes a lot of sense that Glenn's agent would float this rumor to make sure the Saints make a good offer and hope to entice other teams to step up their efforts. It's tough for a defensive coach to get HC jobs these days and they have little leverage to get the best salary or to negotiate things like staff size and money for staff contracts.
I know people suggest we're a good organization, but do we spend top money on staff and coaches? For example, the Commanders have two former HCs as offensive coaches. Are we willing to hire an all-star staff, or are we considered cheap?
