The eventful off-season continues for the Syracuse Orange football program, On Friday, we learned that offensive line coach Mike Schmidt was leaving to join another former Orange assistant with the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
Schmidt was hired to become tight ends and tackles coach and run game coordinator on Zach Arnett’s staff. The two worked together at San Diego State from 2011- 2020 and with Arnett taking over after Mike Leach’s passing, they will reunite in Starkville.
This news certainly didn’t take Dino Babers by surprise because shortly after the Schmidt news was announced, Syracuse shared that Steve Farmer would be taking over as offensive line coach.
