From following comments from the mods and other things around the board, it seems like the following are most likely to return:

Offense
  • Chaney
  • Graham
  • Osovet
  • Friend

Defense
  • Felton
  • Neds
  • Ansley

Open positions:
  • QB (Starting to sound like Weinke is out)
  • WR (Martin talked about for several HC jobs)
  • DL

I’m curious if Pruitt will finally add more weight to the staff on Defense. In my opinion, give Chaney the QB coaching (he wants it), and add a DB coach on Defense. If they were to do that, the following would be open:

DL
  • Bo Davis is talked about a lot for DL
  • Would Tosh be an option? For recruiting impact, he'd have to be high on the list if he wants to come back to college
  • Any others out there that Pruitt knows/has worked with? Doubt he makes an unknown hire again.

WR
  • Wonder if a guy like Gattis (Michigan) could be on the move depending on how that shakes out.
  • Joe Cox has worked with Friend and might be looking for work coming out of UCSjr
  • Lawrence Dawsey has worked with Pruitt and is an analyst at A&M right now.
  • What other candidates that Pruitt or others on staff know?

DB
  • Will Travaris Robinson be retained by South Carolina? Would be a huge pickup as a DB coach. No connection to the current staff that I am aware of.
  • No real obvious candidates in Pruitt's past to pick from since he has been the DB coach in a lot of places and then had Ansley with him for 2 years at Bama.
  • Thoughts?

BONUS Question
Brent says he thinks Pruitt brings Artis back. What if a guy like Scott Cochran misses being the S&C director and is looking for a spot?
