Why are you suggesting Aaron Glenn isn't a deserving candidate?   His defense is arguably great.  Mike Tomlin was only DC for year before he was given a HC gig in Pittsburgh of all places.   A place where they don't have a turnstile at HC.   Glenn has been DC for 3 seasons.

It can be argued that the Jaguars two biggest issues are the offensive line with it's ability to run block, and the Jags defense overall. 

A HC needs to be able to motivate the entire team, not just draw up a great offensive scheme.

I've heard a lot of good things about Aaron Glenn.  Obviously, the advantage of hiring an offensive coordinator to be our head coach is that the offensive system will continue, even when our offensive coordinator is hired away to be a head coach elsewhere.  But over and above all of that, the most important characteristic of a head coach is can he lead a team.  That is a completely different skill set than being a coordinator.  So whoever we hire, I hope that is the reason they hire him.  Not because he's the hot coordinator out there.  

No one wanted Dan Campbell except the Lions, and when they hired him, everyone made fun of the Lions for doing that.
