Syracuse Football: Orange Hire CNY Native Mike Hart as New Running Backs Coach

Just yesterday, the Syracuse Orange filled one of its three remaining coach staff spots with Western Michigan D-line coach Vince Reynolds. Today, as reported by Sports Illustrated's Thayer Evans, they add another new name to the staff, in the Broncos' running backs coach Mike Hart.

Hart, who is a Syracuse native, played for the Michigan Wolverines from 2004-2007 and is the program's all-time leading rusher. In 2006, he was part of a Michigan team that nearly competed for the national title, while also being named a Doak Walker award finalist and fifth-place Heisman Trophy finisher.
