- Prior to the previous season, Mike Schafer announced that he would be retiring following the ’25 campaign.[1] The school quickly decided to hire Cornell alum Casey Jones as an associate coach with the intent of promoting him to head coach for this season.
- Shortly before the beginning of the academic year, Keith Allain announced his retirement effective immediately.[4] Due to short time constraints, assistant coach Joe Howe was promoted to interim head coach for this year with a national search set to begin following the season.
