At an early off season optional practice a a rural college football complex Raymond Nelson acclimated himself to his new role as head coach after nine years as offensive coordinator under former Coach Howie Perez. "I think the continuity will make this an easier transition then if we had brought in a whole new staff with a whole new scheme." Ricky Hamilton remains the defensive coordinator while the search for a new offensive coordinator continues.

Patrick Loucks is pushing his team mates a little harder in this year's off season workouts looking to reach the playoffs for only the second time in his career and trying to rebound from last season which was his lowest rated since his rookie season, 74.0, as well as being the first time since his rookie season that he threw more interceptions then touchdowns, 15 TD-17 INT.

Fourth year wide receiver Junior Chambliss plans on staying the teams number one receiver this season. After being the team's first round pick in 2015 he played two disappointing seasons but last year led the team in receiving yards, 818, and caught five touchdowns. "This year is all about getting open and keeping drives alive for the offense. I want to be the number one option for Patrick, either to make big plays for him to get me the ball or for him to get the ball to someone else."
The team also unveiled the new logo and nickname at the 1492 Club in Cincinnati.
