Offensive Coordinator Jason Phillips accepted his first head coaching position as he was named coach of the Florida State Seminoles.

Defensive Coordinator Bret Bielema will find himself back in a head coaching position one year after being fired from Arkansas. Bielema was named as the new Head Coach for the Wake Forest Demon Deacons.
