We failed to make a move this past offseason when there were more candidates out there, and I didn't have a problem with giving him a second crack at it.
But now, Wade Phillips has stated he wants to be a DC again, and Dan Quinn is available also. There are legitimate candidates, and the guy we have is clearly not capable of doing the job.
If we still had a shot at the playoffs, I would be all for canning Lou. However, any new DC will be very limited in what they can do this year without the benefit of a training camp. Their better long term play is to fire Lou at the end of the year as a scapegoat after tanking for draft position, then hire a replacement.
