Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson ‘confident’ he’s ready to call plays

On three different occasions this offseason, Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn professed to the media that his goal—now that he did not land a head coaching job elsewhere—is to be the best coordinator the Detroit Lions have ever had.

“My main deal right now, I want to be the best coordinator Detroit has ever had,” Glenn said last week. “I’m going to stand by that and continue to say it because I really believe that in my heart.”

On Thursday, offensive coordinator Ben Johnson took the podium for the first time since the NFL Draft, and before any reporters had a chance to ask him a question, he took it upon himself to respond to Glenn’s comments.
