Syracuse defensive coordinator Zach Arnett is reportedly leaving to take the same position on Mike Leach’s staff at Mississippi State, according to a tweet from Yahoo! Sports’ Pete Thamel.
Sources: Mississippi State is expected to hire Zach Arnett as defensive coordinator. He'd recently taken the Syracuse DC job. Arnett runs the 3-3-5 defense he learned from Rocky Long.
John Wildhack, Syracuse’s Director of Athletics, released a statement confirming the initial reports.
“We are disappointed that Zach Arnett has decided not to honor the commitment he made to Syracuse University,” Wildhack’s statement read.
