One day, New Orleans Saints secondary coach Aaron Glenn hopes all the organizing and staying up late to make sure everything is just so for the next day of work is commonplace.
For now, he will settle for one day. Friday (July 27), Glenn ran the practice as the de facto head coach with a large contingent of the Saints coaching staff away to attend the funeral service for former Vikings assistant coach Tony Sparano, who died Sunday at 56 years old.
Joining head coach Sean Payton at Sparano's funeral were Assistant General Manager Jeff Ireland, offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael, tight ends coach Dan Campbell, defensive coordinator Dennis Allen and linebackers coach Mike Nolan.
