The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns football program will begin searching immediately for assistant coaches after coach Rickey Bustle announced on Monday offensive coordinator Rob Christophel, defensive coordinator Brent Pry, receivers coach Brian Crist and cornerbacks coach Terry Sims will not return next season.
If the Cajuns don't find suitable replacements to join Bustle's staff, it won't be because of a lack of money.
The program is expected to have an increased budget for Bustle to hire assistant coaches, which should make the positions on the Cajuns' staff more attractive.
Bustle would not confirm nor deny whether university President Ray Authement and interim athletic director David Walker have approved a budget increase for his search for new assistants.
Efforts to reach Walker were unsuccessful.
