2023: "Oh, it's not my fault, we just need two different safeties who can communicate."
2024: *Gets two new safeties, still have guys constantly wide open uncovered.* "Oh it's not my fault, we just need 4 Pro Bowl DL."

Maybe, just maybe, there was a reason he was 52-53 years old when he finally got his first shot at being an actual NFL DC and had been a career-long DB Coach before then.

Lou's inability to draft and develop is a much bigger issue than scheme. Like most Defensive Coordinators Lou has alot of say in how the draft board is stacked and in his tenure in Cincy thr team has stacked a defensive heavy board that has failed miserably.
