Don Brown, who over nearly five decades as a college football coach has earned a reputation as a defensive mastermind, is serving as a consultant to the Syracuse program, I'm told.
Syracuse.com first reported on this news regarding Brown. A source confirmed the hiring to me on Wednesday. Brown, I'm told, joined the Orange in a consulting role within the past week, and it's unclear for how long he will work with the program.
Additionally, it's important to note that Brown wasn't brought on board to make any drastic changes, nor is his consultancy an indication that the defense is tremendously struggling.
