I don't know if it was as bad as Lou's Defense. Lou's was historically bad, but still not the DC I was wanting, I want a top guy.
Eberflus had a dang good 4-3 Defense in the NFL. Top 10, not just mid pack like Graham.

In his 6 years as a DC...he's had 3 top 15 defenses, was top 10 in points allowed twice and passing defenses that were 16th or better 4 times. So he has had some success, to go along with some struggles.
The Raiders were a total fustercluck this season, but he kept the defense playing respectable, ranking 15th overall...and played tough in both games against the Chiefs. If the Bengals D had ranked 15th this year, they might have won the division.
Thanks Holic, made me feel better if it is Graham as I always respect your opinion as you are all common sense. I can overreact as most
Bengals fans can when it comes to these things, but we need to get this right. Being top 10 in points allowed twice is good and if we just
have a mid pack Defense we would be a Super Bowl contender. Still, I am greedy and want a top 10 Defense that is great at something.
But yeah, from what you are saying here, Graham should be an upgrade over Lou. Not saying much after last year though.
I think Eberflus would be more of a sure thing just my opinion.
If we do pick Graham, I wish we could make something happen to get Mad Maxx to go along with him somehow, I know, dreaming...

Yeah, this is my hope, I don't like this crap saying we are down to 2 guys, neither of which are inspiring. Christian Parker is the assistant
DC on the Eagles and would love to give an up and comer who has learned from a great coach a shot.
