1.  When Marvin Lewis was mired in mediocrity I used to say that we should not fire him unless we have a proven upgrade.  But when you are mired near the bottom of the league it is worth it to take a chance on anyone new.

2.  I would be willing to give Lou another year if he had some history of success as a coach, but he has never been a DC before and the defense has been bad every where he coached.  He was DB coach with the Giants in '18 and their defense ranked 24th.  He was a DB coach with the Dolphins for 6 years and their defense only finished higher than 20th twice (12th in '14 and 16th in '17).

I suppose. It just feels like our options would be even worse this time around. If I was a position coach looking for my first DC opportunity I’d be pretty nervous about hitching my wagon to Zac Taylor.
