Memphis football undergoes roster and coaching changes for 2026 season

Summary

Following the departure of head coach Ryan Silverfield to Arkansas after the 2025 season, Memphis football experienced a nearly total turnover in its roster and coaching staff. New head coach Charles Huff implemented a completely new team structure, beginning his tenure with a win over UNLV on August 29. Former Memphis players have relocated to various programs across the country, with many joining Silverfield at Arkansas or transitioning to other college programs. The previous coaching staff dispersed to several different universities and organizations, including East Carolina, Oregon State, and the Houston Texans. This transition marks a significant shift for the program as it enters the 2026 season under new leadership.
