In likely his last media appearance before National Signing Day, Sonny Dykes confirmed that the Cal coaching staff will mostly stay intact for the 2016 season and there will be no noticeable staff changes. Another program could come calling for Cal assistants, but Dykes himself will not be the one to make any shifts internally.
Currently, here is how the assistant staff looks.
- Sonny Dykes: Head coach, outside receivers coach
- Tony Franklin: Offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach, running backs coach
- Brandon Jones: Run game coordinator
- Mark Tommerdahl: Assistant head coach, special teams coordinator
- Jacob Peeler: Inside receivers
- Art Kaufman: Defensive coordinator
- Garret Chachere: Associate coach, linebackers
- John Lovett: Cornerbacks
- Greg Burns: Safeties
CGB debated how Cal should divvy up assistant salaries after Dykes's contract was extended.
