True- but to Dan's credit he has changed a LOT of things too.

Better DC.
Better Special teams coach.
Has been better about not blindly playing upperclassmen over more talented underclassmen.
Has improved recruiting by hiring analysts and dumping Sallach his ex-college roommate and may or may not have even had a come to Jesus meeting with Hevesy about recruiting.
Hasn't been openly looking for a job at the end of the year since 2015.

And the few things that aren't fixed right now appear to have solutions on the way by the 2018 season if not sooner- it looks like Couch is going to be playing more the second half of the year.
