re: If there isn’t a head coaching change, please convince me next year will be an improvement

Most position groups will be better, especially the all-important QB position.

Oline will be a complete change out. Who knows if it will be better or worse.

Dline will be even better than the excellent play we have had this year.

Linebacker will probably be about the same (much better than folks on here think, fortunately).

Defensive backfield should be good. We’ll lose Stingley, but due to injury, he’s been a non-factor the last two years. The young safeties should be a force next year.

On offense, our WRs should be much better, QB should be much better, RBs should be improved, TEs should be better. Offensive line is the big question mark. Orgeron should work the portal to find some good offensive linemen.

One more thing: we should return our coordinators, so we’re not learning new systems. That should give us a quick start.
