lol @ Omar Epps.
I was thinking about 6-8 but since 6 was the cutoff, i went group 2.
RE: Rank our Coaches (2025) - Synric - 06-24-2025
I made it to 16 without counting new head coaches.
Bengals have a first time NFL DC and a mediocre offensive scheme.

I don't think I've called him anything other than Omar Epps for over a decade now lol

So a minimum of 16 returning staffs better than ours?
If a medicre Offensive Scheme gets you top 5 in total point Ima take it.

Laughed at the Omar Epps reference myself lol
Too early to tell on our new OL coach and Defensive coaches. I think Zac is a great coach at times and a terrible coach at times so I
guess I would put him mid-tier.

Highest I can go on the pole is midway up.

Without seeing Golden actually run a defense in the NFL, I had to go 15-21.
Running a college defense and NFL defense are obviously going to be different.
And Golden took over an already-good college defense and made it just a bit better.
Prior to Golden coming in, ND finished their season with 19.7 Points Allowed Per Game, which ranked T14 in FBS.
ND defense rankings 2022-2024 were:
2022 - 23.0 PAPG (39th)
2023 - 15.9 (T7th with my Miami Redhawks
)2024 - 15.5 (T4th)
So yes, he did help improve the defense, but how effective will he be taking over a poor defense and making them actually good as opposed to taking what's already good and making them a bit better?
I'm not saying he can't, but we haven't seen him as a DC in the NFL yet, so there's some uncertainty, and I tend to be more skeptical with the unknown than optimistic.
If Golden really can turn this defense though into at least middle of the pack and the offense can perform like last year, this can be a Top 10 team.
