Reviewing the Villanova Football coaching staff changes

The transition from longtime head coach Andy Talley to Mark Ferrate has gone smoothly, for the most part. The one area where it didn’t - and this should probably have been expected - was the amount of staff turnover.

Defensive coordinator Billy Crocker took the same job at UConn after posting the #1 defense in the FCS. Tony Trisciani got a promotion at CAA rival Elon, and even S&C coach Jake Cox left for Baylor. All understandable moves during a coaching transition.

Ferrante recently filled out his staff, but he also shifted a few personnel internally.
