4 guys Lions DC Aaron Glenn could bring with him if and when the Jets or Saints hire him
The Detroit Lions are pretty likely to lose both of their coordinators this offseason.

The Detroit Lions are pretty likely to lose both of their coordinators this offseason. As the weeks have gone by Aaron Glenn's name has gotten hotter and hotter in the coaching search and it's about time this has happened.
The two teams that he's been linked to the most are the New York Jets and the New Orleans Saints. The Jets are reportedly all in on Glenn as their next head coach, but nobody is ruling out the Saints yet.
With this in mind, we began to wonder who Glenn might take with him to form his coaching staff in either spot. We already talked about four guys Ben Johnson could be taking, now here are four guys Glenn could take:
Defensive Assistant/ Assitant linebackers coach David Corrao
Corrao has been with the Lions in different roles for seven seasons now and he's been working with Glenn on the defense since 2022. Glenn has touted Corrao multiple times over the years and is someone he loves having on his staff. It makes a lot of sense that Corrao would leave with him to potentially play a big role.
Assistant linebackers coach Shaun Dion Hamilton
Still a really interesting story. Hamilton came to play for the Lions in 2022 and by the time camp was over, he was on the Lions' coaching staff and has been under Glenn and linebackers coach Kelvin Sheppard's wing the entire time. He could be ready to have his own linebacker room now.
Assistant defensive line coach Cameron Davis
Davis has been on the defensive line for three years and the Lions give him a lot of credit for helping Aidan Hutchinson further develop his game over that time. This is a guy who's shown to be very smart and has earned more and more praise throughout this season and he has shown a lot of growth too. He's ready to run his own defensive line.
Assitant special teams coordinator Jett Modkins
I put Modkins on Johnson's list too. There might be a small war over this guy. I'm telling you he's ready to lead his own special teams unit and it's just a matter of time before he does that.
Modkins interviewed for the 49ers' special teams coordinator role earlier this week.
Jared Goff is at the top of the NFL in an obscure stat that shows how much the Lions quarterback has grown in his career
If you've been watching the Detroit Lions for a long time, then you've seen the team play against the Packers a lot when they had Aaron Rodgers. If you've seen that, you've seen Joe Buck drool over Rodgers for four quarters on a lot of your Sundays. In the midst of all that drooling, you'd […]
