I think the FO went against his thoughts on Bates and maybe Vonn. But really Myles Murphy,Ossai,Dax Hill? But I heard a comment by a major national ESPN guy ( sorry can’t remember who) they blasted management over Lou’s firing.
I'm still torn on Lou a bit. On one hand I think it was time to move on and not adjusting was frustrating but when it was good he they made the best teams struggle enough and were solid in the playoffs.
I still think the draft is speculation. But Dax feels like it had to be more not him since it was done as an attempt to find an early replacement and lous reluctance to play him year 1. Ossai seems like a decent player for when he was drafted and the real issue may be why he found himself off the field for such long periods when he was healthy and this may fall on Lou. Murphy also feels like it's more a problem with how the Bengals evaluate prospects overall. Even if Lou was wanting him his college production was saying he shouldn't be picked at that point.
