a 1st time coordinator and a cadre of 1st time assistants mixed with retreads that had been out of coaching for a few years and other bargain table coaches. Clearly the experienced seniors carried the offense every bit as much as experienced seniors carried the defense. JW. TH. Two best players on the team.
Bottom line isms that coaching from top to bottom failed in that 2nd year. Coaching has improved since then, but it still is not all that good - mediocre. It improved from really bad to mediocre and not just on defense.
