I think the new coach, whoever that is, should have the complete freedom to choose his assistants. That said, if that guy is as smart as we hope he is, he should interview the guys that are already there. Some of them may tell him something that he needs to know that nobody else will. Some of them he may want to keep, possibly in a different capacity. It is probable many of the assistants won't want to stay anyway. Some are probably ready to retire. Others have (for a long time IMO) need to move on and flesh out their resume. Presumably Shaw will help them do that, in so far as he can. The important thing is that the new guy decides who, if anyone, he keeps.

By the way, does anybody know when the assistants found out Shaw was going? Was it the same time as the team? If not, congrats on keeping it quiet.
