Syracuse Football: Dino Babers hoping to add Rocky Long as new DC

It’s been eerily quiet on the hill since the Syracuse football squad decided to move on from defensive coordinator Brian Ward, but finally, there’s some news to report.

Per Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports, Dino Babers is hosting San Diego State head coach Rocky Long on Monday for a visit.

Long reportedly has “been shopping himself” for college defensive coordinator jobs per Thamel’s report.

Rocky is 69 years old (will be 70 by the start of the 2020 season) and has an incredible track record as a top defensive mind.
