I want no part of Aaron Glenn as a HC (152 Viewers)

[Saint Greg]

They came out flat, there's no doubt, but the injuries can't be discounted.

I'll be interested to see if this affects Glenn's HC stock. After a loss like that, he may decide to stay in Detroit another year.

Plus, people are sleeping on how good the Commanders can be with JD at the helm, they could legitimately win it now.

If he gets an offer I think he takes it. It’s tough to get HC jobs as a DC these days. He’ll jump at the first opportunity.

I’m just here to say “generational talent” is used way too much.

If he plays in the same league at the same time as Mahomes, Allen and Lamar then he can be as good as them but not generational.

I’ll escort myself out.

Don't leave quite yet!!!!!

1) He's already at least as good or better than Lamar or Josh (he is more accurate, consistent), and I think will be better than Mahomes eventually....(Mahomes actually barely played his rookie year)
2) He is 5+ years younger than all the QB's listed
3) The notion that he will likely improve is scary, unless you are a Commanders fan....

So I don't think it's unreasonable to say he could be a generational talent, the key is for him to stay healthy (and their OC needs to cut out or minimize those designed runs).....

Also, wanted to add, I disagree with those judging Glenn based on one game, but if you look at Glenn's D's and their rankings over the last few years, not very impressive, that's mainly why I don't want him, other than I'm really leaning towards a young offensive mind (Brady)....

Why does Matt have such a bad rep here?

I don't appreciate any local -- and, yes, BR is local -- sports hack hating the Saints. You don't have to love them; but, man, the national hacks already bag on us plenty.

Ok, so just an RoY QB and WR1 who had gotten to a pro bowl despite dogshirt at QB (prior to Daniels). Oh yeah not to mention a 3 time pro-bowler at TE. Granted 33 years old at the backend of his year.

And all these guys stayed healthy for the most part.

That should be easy for Loomis to swing in one offseason so Kingsbury can work his magic.

Now, if we had the same luck at health as the Commanders, I think the only difference would have been QB. But that's a huge difference which without a high draft pick or incredible luck that one becomes available in FA, cannot be fixed in an offseason.

I'm not sure what you took issue with. It was a compliment for how the Commanders were built. Terry McLaurin is a stud, has been and the only WR they have any draft capital invested in. Ertz is a castoff who some thought was done, but he's reinvigorated and staying healthy. Talent has never been an issue with Eckler, but health has and he's stayed relatively healthy this season which probably has a lot to do with Robinson and JD5 running the ball.

They don't have an overly stacked offensive roster with big name players, but they play hard and they all play their role. Looking at how their WRs play together, it's not surprising they shipped Dotson out.

Glenns entire career as a DC, rankings

20, 19, 29 and 32.

Never even had an upper half defense.

Choose your narratives wisely.

Oh sheet. Never saw those until today. That's, well that's not good. And with the shift in the league towards mobile QB's it's about to only get worse.

It only took one game for people to turn on Glenn.

That's why 'fan' comes from the root word 'fanatic'...

It’s the best way to get clicks apparently

I knew someone would start a thread like this. The Packers beat up on the Cowboys last season in the wild card round. Dan Quinn was the Cowboys DC. Would anyone say the Commanders made a mistake hiring him? I’m not taking up for Glenn. The defense wasn’t the only reason the Lions lost last night.

And THAT'S why I don't like Moscona!

Offensively their weakness is the offensive line, if they can upgrade a few positions there? Lookout.....defensively it was the secondary most of the year but both units have played well in the playoffs for sure....

AG is third on my wish list behind Brady and McCarthy. I don't think this one game disqualified him, but I'm definitely worried that picking him could be problematic for our team. We really need an offensive minded coach.

This is the biggest mark against him. It’s not “one game.” He’s been a below-average DC his entire time in Detroit.

This year, the injuries hit hard so he went all the way to worst in the league. Dennis Allen, for all his flaws as a head coach, was much better at scheming around injuries and lack of talent than Glenn has been.

So unless Glenn is truly a magical personality whose mere presence can motivate a team to new heights, I don’t see why he should be near the top of the wish list.

Well, you judge coaches by how they scheme for other teams and how they adapt during the toughest tests. I’d say he failed the pressure test.

Which is really my problem with Moscona. He doesn't necessarily believe what he says. It's clear that he just takes the position that he thinks will generate clicks and attention. I also don't like guys who rant about things and who have knee jerk reactions to things. I prefer reasoned analysis which I know is a lot to ask when talking about football.

 

[St. Widge]

Well, you judge coaches by how they scheme for other teams and how they adapt during the toughest tests. I’d say he failed the pressure test.

So has any coach that has coached for any length of time. You can't find a coach that has never failed. What is important is how they react and come back from failure. Obviously at some point it's too many failures, but one game isn't enough to make that determination.
