If the team had trended up each year then I might be willing to give him another year, but so far it has nothing but get worse.
If all things were equal, this would be a fair statement. However, all things aren't even close to equal. We let go of DreK (thank gosh) and got Waynes. At the very worst, he'd be comparable with DreK, but I think the goal was he'd be better. Imagine if we had those two (WJAX and Waynes) on the boundaries. I imagine we'd be singing Lou's praises, or at the very least seeing an improvement this year. However, aren't we already seeing an improvement? I believe we've done much better this year at stopping the run, and have gotten turnovers despite near-zero pass rush. We said it last year, it all starts up front. Perhaps for the draft this year we invest in our trenches, O and D. Something tells me that's the real change with need.
I won't be upset if they let go of Lou, as I understand business. But I won't be upset if he gets what I'd consider a fair crack at it next year with the entire team he intended to field.
