It's safe to assume that the team has benefited greatly from all of the additions this past off season, both on the roster and in the front office. No one person can claim credit for the turnaround.

Coughlin certainly deserves credit for his part in changing the philosophy on the football side, but even if he's offering advice to Marrone, it's still Doug who has proven to be masterful in pushing the right buttons at the right time to get the most out of this team.

I think adding veteran leadership like Campbell was a stroke of genius. His presence on the roster has not only helped the defense, but he's mentoring pretty much all of the young players on how to be a pro in the NFL, while helping to set an example for other veterans that has them raising the bar for their own expectations.

This team is easy to root for as a Jags fan from the beginning, and I think it's a team that should and will expand the bandwagon pretty dramatically as the rest of the country finally gets an introduction to Duuuuuuvaaaaaaaaaal.
