The new coaches

Linebackers coach Reggie Herring, line coach Paul Pasqualoni and assistant line coach Clint Hurtt will be important for a defense that wants to feature multiple looks.

Herring, Pasqualoni and Hurtt also bring a different demeanor. It took only one day at rookie minicamp to notice their no-nonsense, in-your-face styles.

Tucker also is counting on their overall experience. Pasqualoni, for instance, was Syracuse head coach from 1991 to 2004 and still sounds like a man in charge. His predecessor, Mike Phair, was a former scout before joining Lovie Smith’s staff.

‘‘At the top level here, where the best compete, the success is measured in inches,’’ Tucker said. ‘‘So when you have experienced coaching, experienced staff, that can often times help define the winning edge.’’

How will Tucker and Pasqualoni use Lamarr Houston, their versatile free-agent prize?
