With Cristobal, Mirabal, Moorhead, DeRuyter, and Yates all likely not coaching the bowl game, there's probably going to be some shifting of responsibilities for the remaining assistants and analysts/GAs getting promoted temporarily. Here's what I think the coaching staff may look like on gameday:

HC/WRs: Bryan McClendon
QBs: analyst Nate Costa
OC/RBs: Jim Mastro
OL: analyst Cody Woodiel
ST/TEs: Bobby Williams
DC/ILB: Ken Wilson
DL: Joe Salave'a
OLB: analyst Kwame Agyeman
CB: Rod Chance
S: GA Jalen Ortiz

Not quite sure who'd they get as the 11th on-field coach since most spots are covered. I could maybe see McClendon handing off WR duties but there's really no one else on staff who's worked with the WRs. If Bobby Williams doesn't coach, I could see them splitting his duties up with analyst David Gilbertson coaching TEs and analyst Chris Norris getting special teams.

I’m curious on who will call plays.

For offense: McClendon, Mastro, or maybe even Costa. Mastro called the Stanford plays, and with Mac the interim I’d hope he does. Costa was the OC at IMG Academy.

Defense: I’m assuming it’s Wilson, but who knows if he will be on the staff at that point.

For our bowl opponent it stands to be seen what’s going on there, but they know who the coach and OC will be so maybe they have some input even if they’re not coaching.

I assume Mastro will get playcalling duties on offense and Wilson will get them for defense.

With Moorhead sticking around, it slightly changes the likely assignments of the staff. I can still see them promoting Costa to an on-field position, possibly WRs so McClendon can focus on being the interim HC on gameday.
HC: Bryan McClendon
OC/QBs: Moorhead
RBs: Jim Mastro
WRs: analyst Nate Costa
OL: analyst Cody Woodiel
ST/TEs: Bobby Williams
DC/ILB: Ken Wilson
DL: Joe Salave'a
OLB: analyst Kwame Agyeman
CB: Rod Chance
S: GA Jalen Ortiz

With Yates sticking around through the bowl game, seems the only position up in the air is DeRuyter, who's yet to confirm what he's doing.

Sounds like DeRuyter is sticking around as well.

Most of the staff has other jobs and are only showing up for the paycheck. This is going to be more embarrassing than the Pac12 championship game.

Even Mirabal will be coaching in the game.

Now there's a blast from the past. I remember the phrase: What will Costa cost us as a starter.
