Head coach

Since 2023
Offensive coordinator
Jim Bob Cooter
Since 2023
Defensive coordinator
Lou Anarumo
First season
Offense, 2026: neutral pass rate 61% (55th percentile). No-huddle share: 17th percentile.
Defense, 2025: blitz rate 28% (61st percentile). Man coverage: 77th percentile.
Tempo and blitz aggression travel with the coordinator. Pass tilt belongs to the head coach and the quarterback, and coverage belongs to the roster. A coordinator change modestly raises secondary turnover, about six points.
