ALLEN PARK -- Matt Patricia wanted to hire a new director of video operations this week. And anyone paying attention to how he's assembled his staff could have predicted the hire.
Just go find yourself a Syracuse football program from 2001.
You'll find Paul Pasqualoni listed under head coach. Now he is Patricia's defensive coordinator. Brian Stewart was the defensive backs coach and David Walker was the running backs coach. They'll hold the same positions in Detroit.
Chris White filled various roles at Syracuse from 2000-08. He'll coach Detroit's tight ends in Detroit. David Corrao was at Syracuse from 2000-03.
