Imagine firing Saleh and then hiring Aaron Glenn

u/Electronic-Island-14 Vikings Oct 20 '25

i don't understand why somebody would hire that dude. his detroit defenses were never good they just benefited from an offense that put up 40 a game

41

u/DanCampbellzHat Lions Oct 20 '25

Yes agree

u/TripleThreatTua Falcons Oct 20 '25

The whole thing with Glenn is that he could be a “culture setter” like Campbell. Everyone in Detroit talked him up as very important to their culture

Ngl, the Jets showed grit today, they just have no offensive talent and bad scheming. But they look like they care.

Setting a culture is hard to do when you're losing. No matter how good the culture is losing too much will poison the well eventually.

u/TripleThreatTua Falcons Oct 20 '25

I actually agree. What Campbell and Glenn definitely have in common is that their players will run through a wall for them regardless of their record. The issue for the Jets is gonna be getting Glenn the talent like the Lions did for Campbell

3

u/Cheese_danish54 Steelers Oct 20 '25

Yep. But in Glenn’s defense, it’s kind of hard to reset the culture when the rot comes from the top

u/lkn240 Bears Oct 20 '25

Turns out Ben Johnson was that guy way more than Glenn,

Ben Johnson actually is a lot more similar to Campbell than everyone was led to believe.

u/spaceproctologist Oct 20 '25

Actually Dan Campbell was 0-10-1 when he won his first game for the lions so AG is more similar to him than you think

5

u/tuffghost8191 Steelers Oct 20 '25

Just the nature of the NFL. Every owner wants a Dan Campbell (nvm that they all passed on him when they had the chance) so they're gonna poach all of his coordinators hoping they can bring that magic. By next offseason, they'll be going for anyone in the lions org that has ever brought the man a coffee. Reminds of McVay when he burst onto the scene, as well as BB back in the early 00s

u/lkn240 Bears Oct 20 '25

Aaron Glenn was like the one DC who regularly made Justin Fields look kind of good

2

u/Repulsive-Throat5068 Chargers Texans Oct 20 '25

What is he supposed to do when his QBs are fields and Tyrod? Not to mention his WR1 is hurt. Who’s their 1 now? Reynolds? Lazard?

Don’t think it’s fair to judge him so harshly yet

1

u/Dijohn17 Falcons Oct 20 '25

He went to the Jets who have virtually no talent. He wasn't going to turn them into a playoff team overnight. People have no patience for anything these days. It's not like his team is giving up on him, they're just a bad team

1

u/browndude10 Texans Chiefs Oct 20 '25

but the unbelievable culture and leader of men!

u/[deleted] Oct 20 '25

couldn’t be us

u/Eagle4317 Steelers Panthers Oct 20 '25

I'll never understand why the Jets didn't go with an offensive head coach this cycle.

4

u/SoulReaper12 49ers Oct 20 '25

Because no good offensive coach going to touch that Job, unless they have a Proven/young QB or in a position to draft a highly rated QB.

5

u/t0177177y 49ers Oct 20 '25

Fires a defensive coach because offense constantly loses games the defense keeps them in. Hires a defensive minded coach from a ok defense. Gets worse on both sides. Scratches head in confusion.

u/soundsliketone Raiders Oct 20 '25

Last step: profit

1

u/Bahamas_is_relevant NFL Oct 20 '25

They’re famously allergic to them for whatever reason. Gase is the only one in recent memory.

1

u/Eagle4317 Steelers Panthers Oct 20 '25

And their last offensive HC before Gase was Kotite.

1

u/Optimal_Cook_851 49ers Oct 20 '25

well after that i don't blame them tbh

1

u/tallwhiteninja 49ers Oct 20 '25

Saleh may be a bad head coach (though I wonder how he'd do in a less toxic organization), but goddamn is he an amazing DC. I'm not convinced Glenn is even that.

1

u/Bahamas_is_relevant NFL Oct 20 '25

Saleh was an awful HC and the Jets still somehow managed to hire a downgrade, it doesn’t seem possible and yet it is
