The Braves announced before the season's final game Sunday that all six members of manager Bobby Cox's staff would return in their same roles for 2008.
In May, Cox had signed a one-year contract extension for the 2008 season, and consecutive third-place division finishes in the National League East haven't changed his mind about coming back.
"I still feel great," said Cox, 66, who said he was already looking forward to next season. "I can't wait."
The Braves re-signed his whole staff, including hitting coach Terry Pendleton, pitching coach Roger McDowell, bench coach Chino Cadahia, first-base coach Glenn Hubbard, third-base coach Brian Snitker and bullpen coach Eddie Perez.
General manager John Schuerholz, who turns 67 today, is expected back for his 17th season as Braves GM.
