If we finish next September at 4-0, or 3-1 at worst, then yes, the corner is turned.
We have to keep the winning going through Tommy's first few games to get things stabilized during the transition. Then we should be fine. I look at that schedule and I still see 8-4 as a fair prediction, with room for a couple surprises of the negative type in there already baked in. I could see us winning 10, too.
We could do better than that, with 34 guys plus both kickers back from the two-deep next year. Or we might have a bit of a transition, replacing 3 guys on the O line, 2 WRs and the QB. We will be deeper and more talented on paper next year. But Dungey brought a certain toughness to the team. Maybe the D will help establish that identity early next year.
