Zac Taylor has settled in at HC, his opinion likely holds more sway with Duke and the ownership than it did early on. Zac saw that Defense and OL were problems, so he likely had a lot of influence on the new coaching hires. I'm going to give these new coaches on Defense and Peters with the OL the full benefit of the doubt that they'll be able to bring these new players along nicely as well as get a few of the existing younger players over the developmental hump, areas that both Pollack and Anarumo struggled mightily in.

There's a lot of potential with this draft class, the bigger question is can this new coaching staff get them there?
New DL coach to coach up Stewart
New OL coach to coach up Fairchild and Rivers
New LB coach to coach up Knight and Carter

We (and especially myself) are heavily influenced in our confidence in these guys because of the failures of the previous coaches not being able to elevate the talent.
Heck, maybe even current guys like Murphy and Volson actually improve too, giving more boost to this roster.

I'll be cautiously optimistic. That's about the best I can do lol.
