The Syracuse Orange has struggled over the last two years, and most fans have pointed to the offense as the main source of problems. On Sunday afternoon, those fans got what they wanted as offensive coordinator Sterlin Gilbert won’t return to Syracuse, as reported by Zach Barnett at FootballScoop.
The move is not a surprising one considering how the offense has evolved under Gilbert. The quarterback decisions, whether made by him or not, have affected the offense in terms of how the team plays. The tight end usage has significantly dropped and questionable situational decisions, again made by him or not, have flummoxed Syracuse fans.
