Let me put this all in one place:

Defense

Alex Grinch (from Oklahoma) -- defensive coordinator/safeties

Shaun Nua (Michigan) -- defensive line

Roy Manning (Oklahoma) -- was cornerbacks coach at OU, but has also coached outside linebackers

Brian Odom (Oklahoma) -- inside linebackers

Donte Williams (USC) -- role will depend on how he and Manning are slotted but potentially cornerbacks

Offense

Josh Henson (Texas A&M -- offensive line

Kiel McDonald (Utah) -- running backs

Dave Nichol (Mississippi State) -- inside receivers

Dennis Simmons (Oklahoma) -- outside receivers

Zach Hanson (Tulsa) -- tight ends

**It's not clear yet who will coach special teams.
**Riley serves as his own play-caller while two position coaches shared co-offensive coordinator titles at Oklahoma.
**Head strength coach Bennie Wylie, director of football operations also hired away from Oklahoma, and Assistant Athletics Director for Recruiting Strategy & Administrative Engagement Annie Hanson also expected to come over from OU.

Former coaches who have landed new jobs:

Clay McGuire (Washington State)
Craig Naivar (SMU)
Keary Colbert (Florida)
Vic So'oto (Colorado)
