Syracuse has hired four new quality control coaches for the 2015 season, including retired NFL player and former SU defensive back Steven Gregory, it announced in a press release Thursday.
Despite playing defensive back, Gregory will serve as the special teams quality control coach. The other three quality control coaches are Jesse Johnson and Bart Tanski, who will coach the defense, and Joe Furco, who is the only offensive quality control coach. Furco, who last coached the wide receivers and running backs at Loras College, played quarterback at Elmhurst College under current SU offensive coordinator Tim Lester.
Gregory played from 2002-2005 at SU and eight seasons in the NFL, his last in 2013.
