Go look at commanders, eagles, chargers and broncos turnaround from 2023 to 2024. Actually I’ll do it for you.

2023:

Commanders 32nd in points, 32nd in yards.
Eagles 30th in points, 26th in yards.
Broncos 27th in points, 29th in yards.
Chargers 24th in points, 28th in yards.

2024:

Commanders 18th and 13th
Eagles 2nd and 1st
Broncos 3rd and 7th
Chargers 1st and 11th

3/4 teams replaced their DC in 2024 and the other in 2023. You could argue that the eagles, and commanders, brought in help (but they also lost players in the same offseason). The chargers and broncos returned almost the same team.

The biggest key to a turnaround seems to be coaching/scheme, not necessarily players.

This doesn’t mean Golden will be successful, but he could generate a boost up the rankings. It’s not inconceivable.
