Lou has one of the best defenses that money can buy.  Here are players Bengals have signed for him.

Hendrickson..$15 million per year
Reader...........$13 million 
Hubbard........$10 million
Awuzie..........$ 7 million
Ogunjobi.......$ 6.2 million
Hilton............$ 6 million
Bell...............$ 6 million

And here are the results

Points allowed.....17th
Yards allowed......18th
Yds/play...............21st
3rd down%.........22nd


So what exactly has Lou done "very well"?

You paint the picture that it was talent/money in only. We lost some talent/money as well:

Carl Lawson.......$15 Mil per year
William Jackson......$14 Mil per year
Carlos Dunlap......$13 Mil per year
Mackensie Alexander......$4 Mil
Geno Atkins..........$5.2 Mil dead
Andrew Billings......$3.5 Mil
Nick Vigil.........$2.4 Mil
