Ah You (outside linebackers), Scott McCurley (inside linebackers), Shawn Howe (defensive assistant) and Pat Reilly (defensive assistant).
Special teams coordinator Danny Crossman is joined by Derius Swinton II (senior special teams assistant).
Mark Lovat is the team’s head strength and conditioning coach. Lovat is joined by Grant Thorne (director of performance integration/sports science), Justus Galac (strength and conditioning assistant) and Abe Munayer (strength and conditioning assistant).
Steve Scarnecchia is the chief of staff, a newly created position under McCarthy.
