Syracuse Football: Zach Arnett leaves team for Mississippi State job

In an absolute shocker, it appears that now-former Syracuse football defensive coordinator Zach Arnett has left his post.

Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports dropped the bombshell on Wednesday afternoon saying:

“Mississippi State is expected to hire Zach Arnett as defensive coordinator. He’d recently taken the Syracuse DC job. Arnett runs the 3-3-5 defense he learned from Rocky Long.”

If this news ends up being true, suddenly the Syracuse football team is in desperation mode searching for a new defensive coordinator.

For context Thamel has been all over the Syracuse football news this offseason:

  • Thamel originally reported that Rocky Long was visiting with Dino Babers in Central New York for the vacant defensive coordinator job.
