Aaron talking yesterday about the attack in NOLA before talking about the Lions.
I think we should be fair to the man -- just because he coached with the Saints at one point doesn't make him automatically more of a yes man than Sean Payton or anyone else is.
The guy is a very accomplished professional. He deserves a fair shake, and besides this story is unsourced speculation
Just because he acknowledges what happened in New Orleans doesn't make him the right hire for head coach here. I agree that he has credentials, even though I'm personally not impressed by them, either here as DB coach or in Detroit. Sure, he seems like a standup guy, but he's a terrible fit here -- especially as long as Loomis continues to wield any kind of influence over personnel or hiring staff. That doesn't mean I think Glenn a 'yes man', but I do think he'd allow Loomis to continue the false and destructive narrative that the team is 'close'.
Additionally, I believe many of the same schemes that have doomed this team lately on defense will remain. His defenses in Detroit -- even without injuries -- have been average to slightly above average. There is nothing new he brings here. Just because he works with Dan Campbell, doesn't mean he is anything like Dan Campbell from a culture perspective. I mean, is he going to bring Brad Holmes with him?
I continue to believe Glenn is best suited to the Jets or another team, because he'll get a clean slate there, without the baggage of Loomis and the Payton era.
