I don't know that I get it. What's so great about Aaron Glenn? The Lions defense have never really impressed me.
They had one of the better defenses in the league before all the injuries, and even with the injuries they're statistically top 10 and then they obviously had a signature performance against the Vikings.

More broadly most of the Lions talent and resources have been spent on the offensive side of the ball with Gibbs, LaPorta, Williams, Sewell and Ragnow all being first rounders, plus inheriting St. Brown who is a top 5ish WR in the laegue. They have a few 1st round picks on defense with Hutchinson and Campbell but Glenn has taken mostly 2nd/3rd round types and turned them into key players like McNeill, Anzalone and Joseph.

Throw in the culture they established in Detroit, that he'd presumably bring an OC from that staff, and that he also cut his teeth under Payton and I think there's a lot to like there.

If you're going the coordinator route he'd be my guy honestly.

This is true but they're probably not going to look at any candidates anyone else wants anyway, other than Moore.
On paper Moore is probably going to end up being the most coveted candidate with at least something of a resume that would resemble what a normal team would do. But we all know the truth there and how it's actually going to look.

But aside from Carroll (maybe) and Moore I'm not sure we're going to consider anybody who is being interviewed anywhere else based on the initial speculation.

How many “normal teams” have that dork on their short list?

Who knows about "short list" but I can guarantee you nobody is interviewing Kiffin or Ron Rivera or whoever else. Based on the early speculation Carroll and Moore are the only ones getting interviews elsewhere.

I'm not saying that as a good thing, it's mind-numbingly stupid.

I understand being underwhelmed by Dak but he's miles better than Hurts.
Dak has his warts for sure. But he's not nearly as bad as some people around here proclaim him to be. People just try to outdo each other with their over the top shit sometimes. I mean, saying he's as bad as Quincy Carter? Instantly makes anything they say on the subject go straight into the retard bin. Or claiming Rush is just as good? Jesus Christ people. Listen to yourselves...

Rivera is a cheap and easy Rooney rule but Kiffin is the one that really blows my mind.

It is almost like we are being trolled.

This is why I think Jerry is slowly losing his mind, or maybe he's just being purely vindictive because he's realized how much of a failure his attempts at winning over the years now are.

None of this stuff makes any bit of sense aside from acting out of pure spite, and I don't think Stephen cares much as long as nobody asks him to sign a FA.
