Maybe? But I dunno. I haven’t found anything more recent than the 2018 article from when it was introduced that states there can be 11 coaches and 14 other football ops staff. I guess depending how loose that “other ops” staff category is that leaves you at least 3 or 4 coaches short in my opinion. I know lots of guys do double duty on roles but in my mind and experience:
1. HC
2. OC
3. DC
4. ST coordinator
5. QB coach
6. WR coach
7. RB coach
8. OL coach
9. DL coach
10. LB coach
11. DB coach
And now maybe these are “luxury” coaches but in my head they’re pretty essential for the Canadian game
12. Safety/Sam linebacker coach
13. DB #2 (corners or halfbacks)
14. Kicking coach
Then there’s passing game/running game QC coaches on both offence and defence but often those would be the position coaches
You can shrink the list by having guys double up on duties but I just can’t see how fewer coaches does anything but reduce the time players spend with an individual coach and get less instruction time and that equals worse football
