The Detroit Lions’ playoff game versus the Washington Commanders on Saturday, January 18, at Ford Field, was both challenging and shocking. While the Lions were expected to win by a large margin, they fell to the Commanders 45-31.
Following the Commanders’ implosion, the Detroit Lions are receiving more terrible news, which might affect the franchise for years to come.
Dallas Cowboys Could Snag a Detroit Lions Favorite
The Detroit Lions’ offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn are among the most sought-after candidates for head coaching openings next season. Johnson and Glenn have been critical components of the Lions’ development, so losing both coordinators could have long-term consequences for the team. Some NFL analysts and experts believe that both coordinators could be hired by other teams during the summer.
Glenn’s tally now includes one additional team. Some NFL experts believe Glenn will include the Dallas Cowboys on his interview list.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that Dallas has interest in Glenn to replace former Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy.
“I was also told that they’re intrigued by Aaron Glenn,” Fowler said of ESPN over the weekend, also stating that “they would like to speak with him.”
NFL insider Jordan Schultz agreed, stating that “Glenn is a name to watch closely as the Cowboys continue their search for a new head coach into next week.”
Now that the Lions are out of the playoffs, Glenn and Johnson will be free to conduct in-person or virtual interviews as they see fit. According to NFL regulations, they can begin interviewing after the Divisional Round of the playoffs, which is Monday, January 20.
Whatever happens to Glenn and Campbell, Lions head coach Dan Campbell and general manager Brad Holmes will be around for the foreseeable future, so keep your chin up, Lions fans.
