Dave Leitao (87-99, heading into 7th season with the team)
This will be a big year for Dave Leitao, who is in his second stint with the program. Obviously, the second go-around hasn’t been as successful as he was with the Blue Demons back in the early 2000’s. DePaul finally got over the 10-win mark after two straight years of winning nine games the entire season. They also had their best conference record (4-14) since he took over again in 2015.
Now he has to continue to improve the program. Getting double-digit wins is really good for DePaul, but they can’t afford another setback.
