Welp, it's about that time. Hope everyone is doing well! Let's get to it...
I'm sure there are a couple things I've missed but here is a quick summary of what has transpired since the end of last season. If something is not correct it's probably because I foolishly took Wikipedia at its word lol.

Associate Head Coach / Running Backs Coach took Running Backs Coach position at Michigan
Coaches In
Deland McCullough Associate Head Coach / Running Backs Coach (Kansas City Chiefs)
Charlton Warren Defensive Coordinator / Linebackers Coach (Georgia), regarded as very good recruiter
Internal Changes / Promotions
Brandon Shelby will still coach Cornerbacks but is now Assistant Head Coach
Kasey Teegardin is still Special Teams Coordinator but will now coach Outside Linebackers instead of Defensive Backs
Coach Allen's Contract Restructured
