You betcha, things will improve.  Taking things back to basic fundamentals, executing schemes that they can run blindfolded, putting the fun back into playing the game.  Things like that can boost discouraged players' confidence more than many realize.  Sometimes "great" football minds can come up with the most elaborate of schemes and game plans, only to have made the game way too cerebral for players to have confidence in knowing what they're doing out there.

A perfect example is the number of times that we had CBs and Safeties looking at each other, wondering who was supposed to be responsible for the catch that was just made, while playing in Austin's Zone Coverage.  Virtually all of our players in the secondary come from a man coverage background.  Just let them do what they know how to do, you'll get the most out of them that way.
