Did anyone else watch AGs press conference? He seemed really defensive (no pun). Multiple times he answered the media’s questions by reminding them that the Lions are a “top 10 defense” according to the stats (which is true by total yards but we are 20th points allowed).
Idk, it rubbed me the wrong me the wrong way. We all know stats dont tell the whole story. And when asked about the trade deadline, he called a reporter’s statement “the stupidest thing you could say” in regards to adding more defensive help.
AG is gritty, sure, but he doesn’t seem to take the same accountability as the rest of the coaching staff. This is NOT a fire AG post. I just wonder if others get the same vibe as me.
I’m not even saying with confidence that that would be a necessary move, but if Dan fired Aaron, give Dan a lifetime contract. Not because firing Glenn is some genius move, but it would further prove that Dan holds everyone account able equally and team success is held above all else. Firing Pleasant was a great sign, but this would truly mean that he can like and respect someone but still make the tough call to pull the plug if it meant the team grows because of it. Many coaches are too loyal to their assistants and it can be to their demise.
