DETROIT – Tom Brady spoke during the broadcast of the Detroit Lions playoff game about interviewing both of their coordinators -- Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn -- for a head coaching job.
Brady was the analyst for the FOX broadcast of the divisional round game between the Lions and the Washington Commanders. But he’s also a partial owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, who are looking for a new head coach this offseasoh.
Johnson and Glenn are two of the hottest names on the coaching market, and Brady was asked during the first quarter about his experience interviewing them.
He didn’t exactly avoid the question, but he certainly didn’t give anything away, either.
“It’s just been a great learning experience,“ Brady said. ”What you realize: The league’s full of great potential, and what I believe is the resumes, the accolades are all earned by what people do on the field. You earn your opportunities and you do your performance and let that all do the talking, just as it should be, and as I did when I was a player.”
That’s a lot of words to not really say much at all.
The Lions are likely to lose both coordinators now that their playoff run has come to an abrupt end. Even though their performance was unimpressive on Saturday night, both Johnson and Glenn will almost certainly get offers in the coming days.
