Syracuse football hires Bowling Green’s Bob Ligashesky as special teams coach, per report

Monday was another busy day for the Syracuse Orange football team in terms of staffing moves. On the heels of the news that wide receivers coach Terrence Samuel was headed to Kansas, Yahoo’s Pete Thamel also reports that Dino Babers has brought on Bowling Green’s Bob Ligashesky as its new special teams coach.

Sources: Syracuse is expected to hire veteran special teams coordinator Bob Ligashesky as the school's new special teams coach. He's a longtime college and NFL coordinator who spent last year at Bowling Green.

Ligashesky’s current role at Bowling Green makes for some obvious tie-ins with Babers’s own previous employment with the Falcons, but this is far more than that.
