I dont know what to think about Lou. He's likable, the players seems to like him. Talks a good game of course. He was definitely handed a terrible roster for D considering we have zero NFL quality LBs. If they say LB is the QB of the defense than its no wonder we are screwed. What I want to know about Lou is does he plan on drafting and signing FA's around this goofy fulltime 2LB scheme or if he is only doing it because of the lack of talent and plans to build a real defense via draft and FA? How about some new LBs and some better depth behind them? If he wants to keep running the scheme he's running now, Id say cut him loose and hire someone else. If he just needs to build the defense and restock the talent especially at LB, then Im ok with another season, but that season better show improvement or he is out imo.
I was hoping a new DC could re-energize the defense that made history last year, but watching our players especially LBs, its pretty clear that we were historically bad for a reason last year and drafting Pratt wasnt going to fix it in a year. Our players lose most of their 1 on 1 matchups and just get flat out beat most of the time. We need to be more physical on D and we need a defensive leader like Burfict tried and failed to be. Its hard to totally write Lou off watching our LBs play. Coaches need talented players to work with.
