Great regular season coach that was completely outcoached in every playoff game in Cincinnati. I love Zimmer and the respect he earned Cincy's defense, because they truly sucked for well over a decade before he got here, but that's a hard pass.

Stats don't tell the entire story. If the offense gets a 3 and out just about every drive the other team is going to run wild in most cases. 

Yes, they could have been better. But football comes down to which team is putting themselves in the best situations consistently. Defense and offense have to work in unison.

I guarantee if we had Lou's defenses but they were on the field all game because the offense sucked, his defenses would not look so good. Look at how bad his defense was his first year for instance.
