As Syracuse.com's Nate Mink pointed out yesterday, a LOT of the Syracuse Orange's new football staff will be on the sidelines for Bowling Green's final game -- the GoDaddy Bowl tonight against Georgia Southern. Soon-to-be Orange defensive coordinator Brian Ward will be interim head coach for the Falcons. Co-offensive coordinators Mike Lynch and Sean Lewis will call plays one last time at BGSU before doing the same at Syracuse. Tom Freeman, Tom Kaufman, Kim McCloud and Nick Monroe will also be participating in tonight's game as a farewell to the group they coached.
It's certainly a cool gesture, and one that hasn't hurt Syracuse at all as they seemed to do just fine organizing 2016 recruiting priorities despite not being on campus.
