Fred Toucher: Cowboys Should Consider Aaron Glenn Over Ben Johnson for Top Job

Author Nick Gemelli

Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals took advantage of a costly mistake by the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night. Burrow threw a tiebreaking 40-yard touchdown pass to Ja’Marr Chase after Dallas botched a blocked punt, giving the Bengals a 27-20 win.

In the wake of the loss, Fred Toucher, co-host of Toucher & Hardy, argued that the Cowboys should consider Aaron Glenn, the Lions’ defensive coordinator, for the head coaching job over Ben Johnson, Detroit’s offensive coordinator

Toucher praised Glenn’s leadership, saying he’s a great motivator and well-respected by players. “Glenn gets his defense swarming to the ball, even when they’re undermanned,” Toucher said. “That’s what the Cowboys need after mistakes like we saw against the Bengals.”

While Ben Johnson is highly regarded for his offensive mind, Toucher questioned whether he has the leadership skills to lead a team like Dallas. “Everyone talks about Johnson, but Glenn’s ability to inspire players could give him an edge,” he added.

With another disappointing loss and playoff hopes at risk, Toucher’s comments suggest the Cowboys may benefit from a coach like Glenn, who can motivate the team and prevent mistakes.

Fred Toucher on Mike Lombardi: “He’s the Sports Version of Beetlejuice” from Howard Stern

Fred Toucher, co-host of Toucher & Hardy, didn’t hold back when reacting to Mike Lombardi’s recent comments about Bill Belichick’s possible move to college football. Lombardi suggested Belichick might consider the head coach job at the University of North Carolina, where he reportedly had a five-hour interview with UNC officials on Sunday.

Lombardi, known for his loyalty to Belichick, speculated that Belichick’s love for coaching and frustration with recent struggles in New England could make the UNC job appealing. Lombardi emphasized that Belichick might welcome the control college programs offer, something harder to achieve in today’s NFL.

Toucher mocked Lombardi’s take, calling him “a real dummy” and accusing him of constantly praising Belichick to stay relevant. “That’s why people have him on—to make him praise Belichick so they can laugh at him later,” Toucher said. He compared Lombardi to Beetlejuice from Howard Stern, known for his misguided confidence and outrageous claims.

Toucher’s critique highlights skepticism about the idea of Belichick leaving the NFL for college football. Many fans and analysts remain doubtful, especially with Belichick still chasing Don Shula’s all-time wins record.
