Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell believes defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn should be an NFL head coach next year.
“Glenn is as good a coach as you’re going to find, he’s an even better human being,” he told reporters. “If nobody wants him I’ll take him again, I can tell you that right now, but the thought of going through another cycle and he’s not somebody’s head coach is ridiculous. This guy’s as good as they come. He can do it all. He understands how to manage a game. He understands offense, defense, special teams. He knows how to communicate. He understands discipline of players. And he’s motivated, he’s inspiring.
I don’t want to lose him, but I also root for the guy because I think he’s a hell of a coach.”/
The Lions suffered a number of injuries on defense this past season, including losing star pass-rusher Aidan Hutchinson for the season, but still finished seventh in the NFL in points allowed (20.1 PPG), a testament to Glenn’s scheme.
His fourth year on the job was arguably his most impressive, and the Lions are the top seed in the NFC and are a major threat to win the first Super Bowl in franchise history (or at least reach the Super Bowl for the first time ever). Glenn held a depleted defense together and should be one of the top candidates for the six teams in need of a head coach.
