I agree with the sentiment that Lou needs to be gone. Aside from the overall shitty defensive play, it’s clear he is not able to get the most out of the players he has (many are disgruntled or not motivated). But I think IF it does happen it will be the end of the year for 3 reasons.
- Lou will get a bit of leeway because of the injuries – Waynes, Jackson, Hubbard, Reader, Daniels (3 games), Geno (4 games)
- There is no obvious replacement in-house to be the interim DC. When Teryl Austin was canned, there was a clear move for Marvin to take over. When Zampese was fired, there was Lazer, who had OC experience, waiting in the wings.
- Buddy hiring – Even if Zac has the autonomy to be able to fire his coordinators without interference Mike Brown, I think he will be reluctant to do it and more inclined to give Lou a second chance because they’re buddies and have a relationship dating back 10 years.
I'm cautiously optimistic that Lou will be gone at the end of the season.
