Lost in the bustle of a very busy weekend of Syracuse Orange sports happenings was a hire by the football team.
As first reported by Syracuse.com’s Nate Mink, Dino Babers has hired former Wyoming Cowboys defensive coordinator Steve Stanard for an unspecified role on that side of the ball.
Syracuse lost two members of the football staff in the last few weeks, with linebackers/special teams coach Tom Kaufman departing for Chattanooga and running backs coach Mike Hart leaving for Indiana. Stanard would fill the defensive staff spot vacated by Kaufman (we’ll see what his role develops into).
