Breaking: Syracuse football hires Zach Arnett as new defensive coordinator

Since the football season wrapped up over a month ago, we’ve been wondering who would be the new Syracuse Orange defensive coordinator.

We thought Dino Babers was hiring Navy’s Brian Norwood. And then, after Rocky Long visited this past week, we thought the (now former) San Diego State head coach could be the hire.

On Saturday, we learned the Orange made a hire from the Aztecs’ staff. However, it’s not Long.
