A few times during the Syracuse Orange football season, coach Dino Babers mentioned (not too subtly) that he needed a larger staff to properly compete in the ACC. In-season, SU listened, and added three to the recruiting staff. Today, the Orange added another name to the growing list.
Jake Olson has been named operations and recruiting assistant. Olson’s a recent Eastern Illinois grad and is the younger brother of defensive grad assistant Ben Olson. Jake also has experience working as a Yale football operations assistant this year.
While the number of full-time coaches on the roster is limited for FBS schools, there are no barriers to adding more support staff.
