Offense and special teams are upgrades
Not sure what to think of defense
This is where I'm at as well. Now watch it be the complete opposite.
The thing I like about Dana is there's a proven track record of consistency. I genuinely believe he's one of the top offensive minds in college football. I think the talent is there for 8-10 wins on offense. If Cockeye can win 7-9 with shitty personnel and weak schedules, we should be able to get to 8 wins minimum.
Special teams has been cursed, so there's part of me that wonders what it'll take to get over the mental hurdle of blocked kicks, punts, zero return yards, etc. Great coordinator who may be scratching his head until ST can get over the mental blocks.
Defensively I'm probably more concerned about personnel loss than coaching. Especially since Phil Snow will be working with Butler...AND Rhule has always been known to have good defenses. Which means he can devote significant time to Butler/Snow come up with a successful plan.
