Syracuse football's off-season coaching change was an exciting turn of events for current SU running backs coach Mike Hart. Hart played high school football just about 20 minutes down the road from the Syracuse campus at Onondaga Central High School, and was hoping that someone he knew would end up on staff for the Orange and pick up the phone. Fortunately for Hart, someone did.
"It was one of those calls that I was hoping for, praying for," Hart said Monday in a press conference.
When Hart found out that the Orange were hiring Dino Babers, he knew that phone call was a possibility.
