Head coach Arthur Smith went 7-10 in his first year replacing Dan Quinn, and while there were some ugly moments, the fact that Smith won seven games with a seriously flawed roster is quite an accomplishment.

Credit must also go to first-year general manager Terry Fontenot, who did his best to overcome an awful financial situation. On Tuesday, Smith and Fontenot gave a joint press conference talking about the state of the team and the upcoming offseason.
