I’ll say one nice thing about the former coaching staff: they didn’t leave the cupboard empty at defensive end. When you combine the players that stayed with the arriving players, I think you can put together a respectable position group, if not...Dare I say...a good position group (I dare not, but someone else may be bolder)? That’s good news for Coach Odom. While linebacker is the premier position in his defensive scheme, defensive end is a close second.
