People only say that because (a) we have ownership that is allergic to change, so people try to rationalize and make themselves feel better about the change that isn't coming, and (b) a surprising amount of people parrot the propaganda spread by Hobson and the team.
I'd understand the continuity argument with a good or decent coach. Lou has clearly shown that he is not that. Wade Phillips' track record vs Lou's isn't close enough to justify continuity over what looks like a clear upgrade.
It's not propaganda it is fact. I have stated here before, I know guys on the backend of NFL teams through some connections as well as a scout or two, continuity 100% matters and I hear it often. The real propaganda is fans who think you can swap pieces in and out in mass and things just magically work. It goes to show the lack of understanding of the general fanbase when it comes to the install required to put a scheme in or bring people up to speed and the amount of communication that is needed to execute any scheme. Careers are ruined by scheme switches year after year after year.
