DeBoer has a team already. One of the things that was alluded to with him taking this position was not so much about us outbidding UW for him, but we took much better care of his staff. Here is his apparent inner circle.

Ryan Grubb OC QBs
-When Kalen DeBoer was named Washington's new head football coach, the first staff member he announced was Ryan Grubb, who joins the Huskies as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.

Grubb was a member of DeBoer's staff at Fresno State the last two seasons, serving as associate head coach, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.

William Inge Co DC linebackers
--William Inge was named Washington's co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach on Dec. 18, 2021. He reunited with Husky head coach Kalen DeBoer, having served as defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Fresno State the previous two years.

Chuck Morrell Co DC
--Chuck Morrell continued his long association with UW head coach Kalen DeBoer when he joined the Washington coaching staff as co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach in 2002. Morrell, a former head coach at Montana Tech and defensive coordinator under DeBoer at Sioux Falls, spent the previous two years before coming to UW on DeBoer's Fresno State staff as the safeties coach.

Eric Schmidt special teams, edge
--Eric Schmidt joined the 2022 Washington coaching staff as special teams coordinator and coach of the EDGE position on defense. He returns for a second season in 2023. Schmidt was a member of UW head coach Kalen DeBoer's staff at Fresno State each of the two years prior to coming to Seattle

Juice Brown
--Julius "Juice" Brown joined the Washington football coaching staff as cornerbacks coach early in new head coach Kalen DeBoer's tenure. In 2023, he returns for a second season with the Huskies. Brown joined the UW staff after having worked the previous two years at Fresno State

Lee Marks
--TITLE Assistant Head Coach/Running Backs Coach
Lee Marks joined Washington's 2022 coaching staff as the running backs coach. Marks came to UW from Fresno State, where he worked the last two seasons.

Scott Huff OL, Nick Sheridan TE, Inoke Breckterfield DL, and JaMarcus Shephard WR are the only four that hasn't been with DeBoer for the last 4 years. Brick Huard said specifically that Shephard was coming with him, and he thought it was the whole staff. Huff had been at UW for 7 years. He may stay there if retained.
