The Syracuse Orange football program appears to have found its new defensive coordinator.
Reports out of Albuquerque have New Mexico Lobos’ defensive coordinator Rocky Long moving across the country to join the Orange, and in time for the Pinstripe Bowl.
Sources also tell 101.7 The TEAM that Long will coach Syracuse's defense in its bowl game. Syracuse plays Minnesota in the Pinstripe Bowl on December 29. https://t.co/pu2nz7XCzn

The 72-year old Long will take over running the 3-3-5 defense from Tony White, a player Long recruited and coached at UCLA.
