I want no part of Aaron Glenn as a HC (2 Viewers)

[Domeination]

I’m leaning more towards Brady now. I see too much DA in Glenn.

 

[44slayer]

overreaction to call Glenn's defense trash based on one half of football when compared to his career as a DC.

Glenns entire career as a DC, rankings

20, 19, 29 and 32.

Never even had an upper half defense.

Choose your narratives wisely.

After a couple of seasons with the prior coaches players, that was what Jim Haslett looked like. His defenses got progressively worse and he bailed to become a HC before he was exposed. Then after leaving the Saints his defenses were always bottom dwellers.

This thread shows how catastrophic the DA experience was for some people.

The bad thing is if Glenn does not get a HC position Detroit my let him go for poor performance anyway.

 

[gregh]

I'm glad nobody is overreacting to one half of football against a generational talent QB when one of the QBs have thrown 2 interceptions in a half (3 total turnovers). Everyone being totally cool and rational just like always.

but yet the saints crap defense held them mostly in check..

Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn will almost certainly leave Detroit, but they do so after having blown a big lead in the NFCCG last year, and now having been blown out and one-and-done'd their fans at home last night.

Similar in scope to McCarthy getting blown out at home last year.

At least Ben Johnson auditioned his playcalling for Tom Brady. Nice pass Jameson.

The hype on these two coordinators in my opinion absolutely distracted the Lions' players. They were preparing for the playoffs, and there Glenn is zoom-interviewing for other jobs. Even with team permission, horrible timing to break the cohesiveness and trust of your players. You had one job Detroit. But your coordinator's futures were more front and center than your game prep.

The injury excuse is dumb. They won 15 games as an injured team. They were not upstarts as they had a playoff run a year ago. The coaches totally lost focus. They went into that game with a 15-2 mentality, not a 0-0 postseason mentality.

Im sure glad Sean Payton isnt a candidate for HC.. did you see his offense against the Bills... what an atrocious prospect he would be.

When adjusted for situation and opponent (which is what DVOA measures), the Lions had the 5th best defense this year, despite losing their star edge rusher and number of other starters.

He seems like a good dude, but let him go to the Jets please.

Here is a pretty good visual of how his defense suffered this season.

Mistake 1 is counting on Davenport as a starter if that’s what they did there.

 

[texasjefe]

Yes, but they were 5th in Defensive DVOA, so did the injuries really affect them? Plus they rolled the dice on Davenport, a fool's errand we know more than anyone.

For some people? It was pretty bad for the entire Saints org and fan base, I’d say.
