Kingsbury has not been interviewed, Glenn is having his second interview ….this is becoming pretty transparent.
Very transparent. I’m just not agreeing with the decision. That commanders game has me shook on Glenn. It was awful play calling all game and they had a week extra to prepare. That d couldn’t stop a cold
It's not just one game though, for 3 years before this year it was bad. They also had Hutch and others 2 of these years, its not like they were completely bereft of talent. I simply do not understand this choice. A DC from the team that wins with offense. Him failing in play-offs while one games, it was an important play-off game and cannot simply be ignored. And then pair him with a Detroit executive who was there for 20+ years failing even worse than the Jets. Even the Jets had a year or two where they went to conference Finals in the last 20 years, it's not like going there once makes Detroit this model organization you want to copy success from. They are finally just turning this around and who knows where it will end up, but as of now you do not get a GM who was there for 20+ years and mostly failed in spite of having a HOF QB in Stafford. This just does not make any sense to me.
It’s definitely not one game but it’s hard to ignore that last game as it was horrendous play calling all game. The GM choice must be because he had a significant hand in hiring Glenn and this is his payback. If it is Glenn I wonder what his plan is for OC because whoever that guy is has a tire fire to deal with
I agree. I think the hype on AG was unwarranted, and I for one felt for it. I watched that D get killed with the zone coverage and he refused to change to man coverage.
Eh the Lions are the current model on how to turn around a dogshit culture into a winning one though. I’m not sure on Glenn after what I saw with the stubbornness, but plucking someone who was apart of that culture turnaround isn’t a bad thing.
Glenn hasn't done anything other than ride the coattails of better men. This of course makes him perfect for Woody the trust fund baby.
I hope you are right and Newmark has learned, but there has been a lot of losing and not a lot of winning. I am not even sure they completely turned it around. I want to see what happens next year without Ben Johnson. They reached one Conf championship and had two play-off seasons. It is yet to be determined if they turned it around completely or will go back soon like the Browns. Teams like Chiefs, GB, Philly, they are successful all the time under different regimes. I would prefer someone who spent last decade there, rather than in Detroit mostly losing. And there were two candidates like that that we passed on: Borganzi and Halaby. Even JES was around GM success for a long time and would make more sense too.
