Detroit Lions Defensive Coordinator Aaron Glenn wants to remind the NFL of the maxim that “defense wins championships.”

During Glenn’s press conference on Wednesday, a reporter noted that typically, offensive head coaches are the ones who win Super Bowls. However, Glenn—who is a top candidate for a head coaching job—pointed out several examples of defensive head coaches who did win Super Bowls. He then hit back at the reporter’s premise, saying that just because he is a defensive-minded coach does not mean he is not well-acquainted with the offense.
