While yes, a new coach can help a positional group or higher be great in one season, there is almost always a transitional period from terminology, coaching style, and emergence of leadership. Losing Nelson hurt in that aspect because he was such a strong communicator, but losing him was most definitely okay as he is in/will hit decline very soon. The secondary is the absolute least of our worries
True, Coyle, Haslett and Burney were all new. I truly believe this was the biggest reason our Defense played so bad
early last season. Just happy we looked much better after the bye, but the LB's being out of position so much in the
running game was very concerning. Don't know about Haslett.
