Duke Tobin: Held onto some players too long

That's partly on Duke and the management for their "vision" of what roster management should be. I'm not trying to defend Lou by saying that, as I did expect him to have been more hands on and proactive when the defense was struggling so badly the past two seasons. I don't have any ill will toward Lou, but in 5 years in charge of the defense putting out an acceptable product only twice is only a 40% success rate. I wonder how the sports writers who suggested that he would get HC looks are thinking of him now?

I'm the same with Lou. Wish him all the success in the world with the Colts unless we're playing them. But there were several articles post firing talking about how Bengals really messed it up. I don't believe they did.
