On July 6, head coach Ted Daisher was released, because of "different views and expectations regarding the philosophy and leadership of our team". He was replaced on an interim basis by offensive coordinator Andreas Nommensen, who was later confirmed as head coach for the rest of the season.[2]

On July 21, French linebacker Giovanni Nanguy was signed, after the team released 2 other linebackers, Jonas Tykfer and Paco Varol.[3]
