Nah, it's cool.  "Defensive assistants" and "Offensive assistants" move around a lot, and aren't considered full-time assistants.  And this is our second outgoing defensive assistant of the year, with T.J. Rushing getting promoted to secondary coach at Arizona State. 

The core of the staff--i.e., Shaw and the nine full-time assistants, the only ones that are allowed to go recruiting and build relationships with players--remains intact.

While I'm not sure of the proper name they are certainly full time assistants.  :)

AFAIK, assistants are not the same as coaches.  There are NCAA rules on the number of coaches you can have.  Not even sure if assistants get paid.

Right, the offensive and defensive "assistants" are undoubtedly full time.  I assume they get paid, but I doubt it's very much it all.  As to the graduate assistants, however, my understanding is that they get a pretty pitiful stipend (something like $1,000 per month) on top of their scholarships to cover graduate study.  It's where you start in college coaching, however, so there are innumerable 20-somethings that fight over those opportunities.  Given that the offensive and defensive "assistants" are the next step up on the coaching ladder, however, I have to think those at least warrant some sort of salary, even if it's only a few thousand per month. 

In sum: Head Coach > Coordinators (considered part of the 9 "full-time assistant coaches") > Position Coaches (also part of the "full-time assistant coaches") > Offensive and Defensive Assistants (not part of the "full-time assistant coaches," though they are both full-time and assistant coaches) > Graduate Assistants (basically interns picking up a Master's Degree and spending crazy hours coaching football with little compensation).
