OT: Lions successful rebuild - both coordinators getting multiple HC interviews
Three teams have already requested interviews with Ben Johnson and two with Aaron Glenn.
There's only reporting on three teams so far, so they may get more opportunities.
It's hard to believe that just three years ago the Lions were the biggest dumpster fire in the NFL, and it's cool that their ascension has happened alongside Michigan's.
I think the team is still a year away from a Superbowl-ready roster, but it's been an amazing turnaround by Brad Holmes and MCDC.

Hopefully Glenn gets a good offer!
January 9th, 2024 at 7:59 PM ^
Yes! So our defense can improve!

Detroit Lions, Aidan Hutchinson has been on a complete tear last 2 weeks. 9 solo tackles, 5 sacks, 7 tfl, 1 ff, & 10 QB hits. He's a massive unmovable object at the point of attack in the run game which gives Detroit the #2 run D league wide.
He made the PB and his PFF grade (91) is elite. He should be AP but that's usually a sack stat leader award so we'll see. Hutch isn't a small bendy type he's the total package.
He's the best defensive player I've ever seen in a Lions uni (just ahead of Suh)
Having said all that Hutch will lead Detroit to their first playoff win since 1991.

2 teams for Aaron Glenn. Please baby Jesus I hope they extend him an offer.
January 9th, 2024 at 7:47 PM ^
Sad the fanbase has to hope someone saves us from the Ford clan. He should be jettisoned regardless of offer.

You want Sheila to dictate the firing and hiring of coordinators?
January 9th, 2024 at 8:04 PM ^
Ok I’ll bite… what’s MCDC? M..c… Dan Campbell?
pardon the ignorance

Ben Johnson looks goooood. Hoping Washington gets a look at em.
January 9th, 2024 at 8:36 PM ^
I hope they pass. I hate the hometown Commanders, and would kinda like to see Ben stick around in Detroit for another couple of years...
January 9th, 2024 at 9:12 PM ^
And Mike MacDonald has been requested to interview with Washington for their head coaching position.
January 9th, 2024 at 9:16 PM ^
Been thinking, has there ever been a more fun time than these past few weeks to be a Michigan and Lions fan? I don't think so.

The MCDC coaching tree has sprouted

Losing Johnson would really hurt the team...Glenn not so much. I will say that it is harder to evaluate Glenn since he has such a bad staple of defensive backs, but he is very erratic in how he decides to pressure the qb which drives me nuts.
