One of MI's Biggest Celebrities May Leave Permanently For Texas

There are a lot of prominent figures from Michigan who someone would call celebrities. No more so than people who are in the professional sports industry. Between coaches and players, popularity can take a front seat with fame, and a successful season can lead to people who are unknown before becoming big names.

One of the biggest names in professional sports in Michigan is no doubt the defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, who is currently in his 11th year as an NFL coach and his fourth season leading the Detroit Lions defense.

Aaron Glenn has over 25 years of experience in the NFL between playing, coaching, and working in the front office. His ability to transform the Detroit Lions' defense into a juggernaut has made him somewhat of a celebrity here in the state.

But rumors are beginning to cook up that, especially if the Detroit Lions were to win the Super Bowl this year, Aaron Glenn would be leaving to pursue a head coach position.

It just so happens that the Dallas Cowboys have just fired their head coach, according to a press release from the Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, he described the relationship between him and former head coach Mike McCarthy:

Prior to reaching the point of contract, negotiations, though, it became mutually clear that it would be better for each of us to head in a different direction. I think Mike and wish him, his wife, Jessica, and their family the best. They have been a wonderful part of our community here. We will commence a search process immediately to hire the next head coach of the Dallas Cowboys.

Do you think Aaron Glenn would consider a move to Dallas next year? It is a pretty high-profile job, so only time will tell if he accepts an inquiry to meet for the job.
