New coach Danny Edelman has been hired from Bay City; he has an uphill climb for this year and needs to build the program from the ground up. Carl Jones is the lone returner at defense, doing his work in the trenches. On offense, WRs Jeremy Bailey and Jacolby Johnson are good options in the passing game once a QB is decided upon. It's a rebuilding season that may take some time, but that is not impossible if Edelman stays the course.
