No, and before anyone starts in (and you weren't) this is normal. Of course Riley was bringing in his own staff.
I've read that Mike Riley's son is a videographer and that he will probably be taking over the video position.
Well in the NFL, is the COACH in charge of the whole program as the supposed CEO. That's where it's different. In the bigs, the coach COACHES. That's pretty much it. And NFL coach has about the same duties as a position coach in college. Iwould even say that a position coach in college has more to do when you start thinkin about things like recruiting and such.
I don't think we see system wide replacements when a new coach is hired like we've seen at Nebraska. I think the Huskers are in such a unique situation. It is important for us to slash any tie to the previous regime because of how toxic it was. Good guys, such as Nobler get caught in the crosshairs, but I figure the administration doesn't want to risk anything in this situation.
A video coordinator certainly is not normal. Even the journal star noted that it was rare. A coach isn't going to hire his own video guy. You're talking about technical knowledge of the equipment, processes, etc. That's something almost NO coach has any interest in hiring for. He might have a "guy" he knows, but the entire technical aspect from servers, to software could be completely different than what they are after, creating either a big learning curve a huge reinvestment by the university. There's probably more to this than just a new staff showing up.
