There was an uptick from Gruden to Jackson. The biggest uptick being the play of Dalton. But we don't know if thats attributed to Jackson, maturity, or both. The biggest downside to continually losing coordinators besides the eventual drop in talent due to attrition, is the loss of continuity.

You can't underestimate the impact learning a new playbook has on teams.

I've heard numerous times from ex-NFL players about how year one in a new system is trying to learn the actual verbage of the playbook and not until year sometime in year 2 can the players translate the verbage into what they've known in the past.

In other words, someone can't hear the play call and immediately know what it is like second nature until somewhere in the second season.  But you need all 53 players to be able to do this, so it really takes all of 2 years for the whole team to be ready to roll on the same page.
