I believe he is the only one. If I were to have guessed who might stay on, Kyle wouldn't have been the one to come to mind. Good for him.

It appears Matt Gatens will have to find new employment.

This makes me happy. I'd say keeping on the guy who did these sort of things would always be a smart thing to do for new incoming coaches. I'm sure one can hire a new person and they could figure it out on the fly. But keeping on Denning would just help make the transition that much more seamless.
Denning handled business and operational functions for the program, including team travel, supervision of student managers while serving as a liaison with compliance and student-athlete academic services.
