You are in the NFL so the coaches should not have to teach you how tackle. Now if you don’t have the desire then the coach needs to find someone else to play so that could be on Lou.
I think it was time for changes so I support what they did but how can you blame Lou for Pratt forgetting how to tackle? I’m sure Lou was not instructing him to miss tackles.
With Wilson out he did not even have the option of replacing him. It was time for Lou to go but a lot of this is on the players.
Normally this would be correct. But these guys have been taught to make tackles certain ways their entire playing careers from Pop Warner through college and the pros. Then all of a sudden the NFL changes the tackling rules and players have to learn new methods. No more hip dropping, no more landing on the QB., etc etc. So, it was the position coach's job to make sure they made the transition. I do not believe ours did.
