Syracuse football: Get to know interim head coach Nunzio Campanile

When the Syracuse Orange take on Wake Forest inside the Dome tomorrow, there will be someone different wearing the headset on SU's sideline.

That man is Nunzio Campanile, who joined the Syracuse football staff this season as the Tight Ends Coach. Before that, Campanile spent five years as a positions coach with Rutgers and eight as the head coach of Bergen Catholic, a high school football factory in New Jersey.

John Wildhack named Campanile the interim head coach after Dino Babers was fired, creating a scenario few, if any, envisioned before the season - an assistant coach taking over with bowl eligibility still in play.
