During the 2017 off-season, Brian Kelly nearly completely revamped his coaching staff with new offensive and defensive coordinators as part of five new assistant coaches. Kelly also completely overhauled the strength & conditioning program all as part of an overhaul following the disastrous 4-8 campaign during the 2016 season. For all of the comings and goings on the staff itself, please visit our Coaching Changes & News archive. The full coaching staff, however, can be found in the table below.
