When you think about all the coaching changes and the complete scheme changes that went along with it. Then mix that in with a new rookie head coach? Wow, we were asking a lot. Mistakes were made but I think just the staff being together for a second year, with an upgraded DL coach, I don't think it is unreasonable to think the D will be better just from coach familiarity and synergy that wasn't there last year. How much better? No idea, but they don't have to be 2015 good with our schedule and potential O improvement

                              I agree. Not sold on him being a good coach yet.(nm) - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 5/2 10:36:38
               With such an easy schedule, and assuming Odom has learned - zounami MU - 5/1 18:15:45
                    I'd be surprised if we're favored to win more than 6 games. - MATO MU - 5/1 21:37:32
                    As long as Odom has been in the game, how can - GA Tiger MU - 5/1 18:28:37
                         Agreed, but it's an excuse that people made for him last - zounami MU - 5/1 18:35:43
                              I would also be disappointed if we don't go 7-5, but there - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 5/2 08:51:05
                              I've never graded by record, short term, but in how - GA Tiger MU - 5/1 18:46:48
