Some were excited, some weren't. It's funny how similar that thread was to this one in some ways. Mentions of Del Rio. People ripping others for not "waiting and seeing".

I'm not excited by this hire - Then again Marvin is back - so does it really matter anyways?
"Detroit’s defenses under Austin weren’t not as good after his first season, ranking second, 18th, 18th and 27th in yards allowed from 2014-17."

I'm willing to give any new guy a chance, but I've played the "lets force ourselves to get excited about an unexciting player/coach" game before, and I'm just done with it. Unless the player/coach has a good resume, I'm not going to force myself to come up with reasons to get excited about it. Austin's resume is mediocre at best. Hopefully Lazor does a better job filling out his offensive staff - particularly our next o-line coach....seeing how that coach could be around for the next quarter-century.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
