Better coaching staff on the offensive side; not so sure the d-side coaches are an upgrade.  They are living off the glow surrounding Babers as an offensive coach.

Are we loaded?  Depends on your standard.  The OP is right -- the roster this season is a lot better than in 2015 in every position, except DE.  We have few pre-season all-league players (even if all-league goes 4 deep).  But we have promising young talent across the units, including our best soph QB in years, and our two best soph RBs in years.

Sure, we have some issues, but the new OTs (Lasker & McGloster) are bigger than the OTs we had last season, and looked capable in the Spring game.  If Mike Lynch is a good OL coach, there is plenty to work with starting with the group, plus the good younger guys like Conway.    There are 8 or 9 DBs who have played -- if the coaches are any good, they can find 4 good starters out of that returning bunch and the 5 or 6 frosh dbs they recruited.   Even the DEs might be OK with Wilson coming as a post-grad, and Ruff bringing good size as one of the prizes of the recruiting class.  The team depth is the best we have had in a long time, in every unit except DE.

Better offensive coaching, plus a better roster, including young talent -- a lot to like.  Unless you are still wallowing in 2014 and 2015.
