Syracuse football has revamped its coaching staff on both sides of the ball

There might not have been a Syracuse football game on Saturday, but there was still plenty of action on the hill.

Dino Babers made two key hires that’ll go a long way to changing things up for the Orange in 2020.

We’ll start on the defensive side of the ball and quite frankly the most important hire for Babers this offseason: replacing Brian Ward at defensive coordinator.

Zach Arnett of San Diego State is taking his talents to Syracuse as their defensive coordinator. The news was confirmed by the University on Saturday afternoon.

The buzz around town over the last several weeks was former Aztecs head coach Rocky Long visiting with Dino Babers in Syracuse.
