Thoughts on possible coaching changes

As much as we'd like to see an upgrade from Duke, I just don't think that it's in the cards for us.

However, noting what the author wrote about Duke's failures in securing the trenches over the span of multiple coaching staffs, perhaps it's time for the team to expand that office and bring in a Co-Director of player personnel? Someone to focus specifically on linemen on both sides of the ball. Allow Duke to focus on what he's better at and give him a strong resource to cover his shortcomings.

Yes. More scouts, and someone or someones that specialize in line play. Isn't Paul Jr associated with the personnel side? I've been on Duke's case a lot lately, but it's like the video Goodberry put out says.... you're asking Tobin and the coaches to do this with one hand tied behind their backs. The success they've had since Marvin arrived is really kind of remarkable, all things considered. We could, and maybe even should, be still stuck in the abyss.
