I think the qb play had more to do with his playoff losses in cincy. The playoff games we had, our qb couldn’t move the ball worth a damn. Having burrow makes a big difference.

If we lost Lou and no one in-house was worthy, I’d go after a guy of Lou’s ilk. Even if I have to reach into the upper echelon of college football to find him. A guy who’s attention to detail and technique and “getting players to simply do THEIR job” are top traits. One thing I’ve noticed about Lou’s defenses is they tackle well and stick to their gaps / assignments well. Everyone on defense knows the guy next to them is going to do what’s expected of them, they can just go play. We may not have high sack numbers this year, or INTs.. but damn if they aren’t great at stacking and ripping the ball out. And they never seem to lose their cool and panic. That’s Lou and his staff.

I actually saw a lot of zimmer in Lou when they were talking about bringing him in to interview to be the DC. Attention to detail. Tackling. Secondary coaches first. Good eye for talent and ability to develop talent. Etc.

I don’t blame zim for losing all his defensive players in Minnesota. I don’t think DCs are great head coaches most of the time either. They’re usually solid but not elite.
