Syracuse assistant head coach Justin Lustig is reportedly joining Vanderbilt as the special teams coordinator, according to Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports. Lustig joined Dino Babers’ staff in 2017 to coach special teams and running backs before Babers promoted him in February 2019 to assistant head coach.

Newly hired Vanderbilt head coach Clark Lea is assembling his new staff while also preparing Notre Dame — where he’s the defensive coordinator — for its College Football Playoff Semifinal game against Alabama on Friday.
