I would absolutely prefer a proven DC that can provide us a great defense.  I'm just not convinced that can't be Lou.  We'll see, I reckon.

What about Lou's resume has given you any indication he can run a Top 10 defense?

In the past 20 years, Anarumo has only been a DC two places - Miami Dolphins interim DC in 2015 and with the Bengals 2019-2020.
While in Miami, Anarumo took over DC duties from Kevin Coyle.
The year prior (2014), Coyle had the 20th defense in Points Against, 12th in Yards Allowed. In 2015, Coyle+Anarumo's defense was 19th in Points Allowed but 25th in Yards Allowed. The caveat of Points Allowed is that it actually went up 373->389 from 2014 to 2015. So even if it's 1 rank better, it's still more points allowed than the previous year.

So I've not seen any proof that Anarumo knows how to run a good defense.
