The Dallas Cowboys now find themselves in need of a new head coach after they and Mike McCarthy parted ways on Monday.
Who should be on their shortlist to replace McCarthy? The GBag Nation discussed a variety of names on Monday's show, including Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, Rams head coach Sean McVay, Cowboys defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer (who is no longer under contract), and Cowboys legendary tight end Jason Witten.
Bryan Broaddus, however, has his eye on Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn and explained why he should be a strong candidate to take over in Dallas.
"I think Aaron Glenn is going to have a really, really good shot at this job. I think he's going to interview very well. I think he's going to exude toughness. He's going to exude leadership. There is going to be a possibility that he's going to put together a very similar staff that they have in Detroit," Broaddus said on the GBag Nation. "He's got some connections. He knows young offensive coaches he works against. ... When he walks through that door, he's going to be a very confident person. And I think he's going to have a plan. And I think he's going to convince Jerry, Stephen and Will that he can work with them and talk to them about personnel. And have a really good opinion on team building.
Glenn, a 15-year NFL veteran, has some history with the Cowboys, as he spent two seasons playing for Bill Parcells in Dallas in 2005 and 2006. The 52-year-old is a Humble, Texas native and played collegiately at Texas A&M.
Glenn has been the Lions defensive coordinator since 2001 and has become a hot commodity this coaching cycle after helping head coach Dan Campbell establish a winning culture in Detroit. Glenn oversaw one of the best defenses in the league this season before losing several key players to injury. The Lions defense finished the 2024 season seventh in the NFL in scoring defense (20.1 points allowed per game) and 20th in yards allowed (342.5 yards allowed per game).
Dallas is already behind the eight-ball if they want to hire Glenn as he has reportedly interviewed with the other five teams with head coaching vacancies - the Jacksonville Jaguars, Chicago Bears, New York Jets, Las Vegas Raiders and New Orleans Saints.
The Cowboys are not permitted to speak with Glenn until Detroit is eliminated from the playoffs.
