who is a better coach

anyone know what cincy's def ranked last year? they were 28th in yardage and points allowed. that doesn't sound like a great defensive team to me compared to buffalo being ranked 2nd in yards allowed and 5th in points allowed. yes lewis did a good job coaching cinnci last season, but the main reason lewis had so much success last year with his team was the emergance of rudi johnson, chad johnson, and a career year for john kitna.

What was Buffalo's D ranked in Williams' first year as HC? I think that would be a more fair comparison.

in 2002 buffalo's defense was ranked 15th. 2001 they were 21st. i'm not sure which was his first year coaching there though.

I think Williams, not to take anything away from Lewis. Lewis' D was too complex and structured. I hope with Williams he will use LaVar like he should be used, not just stay and read.

plus another thing i didn't like about lewis' scheme is him having his cornerbacks stick to covering one side of the field each no matter who the wr matchup might be. that gives a high chance of putting your #2 cb in a unfavorable matchup with a wr.
