5 seasons and 5 games under Lou, and the defense finished middle of the pack, once at 16th. The rest of the time, down near the bottom of the pile.
and in all that time how many Pro Bowl caliber players has Lou had to work with? Hendrickson and Bates. Thats it. Bates is now gone. I dont know if Lou can get the job done but he doesnt have the talent on defense other teams have. We had Reader last year and needed to bring in more talent to boost the defense. Instead we let Reader walk and replace him with Rankins who is now standing on the sideline while Reader is the one playing, helping Detroit win games. You also had Awuzie as the #1 CB but he walks and you now have CTB as the de-facto #1 and is struggling at times. Im not sure what the issue is but you cant just pin the blame on Lou even though I believe the whole coaching staff needs fired and a new staff brought in.
