I'll be honest, I'm really late to this thread I'll also admit that I haven't taken the time to read the first 131 posts, but I'll get to it later.
As to the news? I really don't find it all that surprising, as the defense continued to play hard throughout the season under Anarumo. Would I have preferred that the team go with a proven, trusted name? Absolutely, but I'm not sure that they could even lure a big name DC to come to Cincinnati, even if they offered him great pay and autonomy in decision making.
With that said, I think that there actually is a little hope for Lou to field a stout defense. Just give him a full roster of healthy players, add a pass rusher and another sure tackling DB, and they should rank in the top half of the league in both yards and scoring.

Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
