So, while I would take Wade Phillips over Lou 100 out of 100 times, now wouldn't be the ideal time to do it.  Don't get me wrong though, I'm all for the Bengals canning him.  I just think they should find an in-house stop gap until the season's end, and then evaluate a full list of pontential candidates.

Completely with you here Wes.

It would be hard to have Wade come in here and teach the defense his terminology, his playbook, and for him to really evaluate the personal mid-season. 

Have to give him a full off-season to get the defense coached up how he wants, plus a new Coordinator should have the ability to come in and hire new positional coaches as well.
