So what gives you faith that Louie Cioffi is qualified to come in and call a defense? 

Again, I know nothing about the guy but I'd probably feel better if you put Duffner or Hobby as the interim DC if Lou fails like expected.  

At least I know Duffner has been a DC before and Hobbie is just a veteran coach that's been around the game a long time. 

hes been here before apparently...    (which is probly why hes back)

Before the Cardinals, Cioffi spent 14 seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals. There, he coached six seasons (1997-2002) as a defensive assistant and eight years (2003-10) as assistant defensive backs coach. In his eight seasons with the defensive backs, the Bengals logged 150 interceptions, fifth most in the NFL during that time span. He joined the league in 1997 as the youngest (23) full-time assistant coach in the NFL at the time.


Wonder is Bresnahan is coming back for offense.


Now as he was just an assistant i wouldnt give him much credit for all those accolades.


When he was a DC in college his team gave up 33 points per game...
