Completely agree.  I got hammered (not the good way) on here for saying that Lou had shown flashes of being a good defensive coordinator (I still stand by that) and ditto for ZT.  The way the schedule sets up, a quick start might get this young team believing and playing hard.  

It starts with beating the Vikings.  Oddly, I took Mike Zimmer in the "first coach to be fired" pool and his odds were something like 40-1.  I figured none of the brand new coaches were at risk and if Zimmer's defense comes out flat and Cousins is, well, Cousins, he could be out of a job.  I love the guy but just thinking in terms of a good longshot.
