Syracuse Football: Orange’s top DC choice Rocky Long is off the market

Syracuse football lost its defensive coordinator Zach Arnett who lasted a grand total of 11 days before skipping out of town to Mississippi State last week.

This left the Orange in a very precarious position so late in the process. Well, things just got worse with the news breaking that former San Diego State head coach Rocky Long is off the market.

College football insider Brett McMurphy announced on Monday morning that Long had been named defensive coordinator at New Mexico.

Rocky is an alum of New Mexico and played defensive back and quarterback during his playing days back in 1969-71.
