Is it a foregone conclusion that the assistants coaches will be replaced under TT?  Is he likely to keep any of the existing staff, or is it just assumed that a new coach will build a whole new staff?

The general assumption is usually that he will clean house, though individual exceptions may be made for reasons of talent, continuity with recruits/recruiting relationships. I certainly would like to hold onto Akina if possible. I’d be shocked if we kept anyone on the offensive side of the ball though.

I think even Akina needs to go. It's not like our DBs have been that great the last few years. Even though a couple have shown very well and been drafted, overall the unit hasn't been where it needs to be for a few years. The patina has worn off on Akina for me.

My hope is that as an offensive-oriented coach, Taylor quickly finds his DC and let's them make decisions on their staff in coordination with him.
