Syracuse Names Dan French Interim AD, Herman Frazier Senior Deputy AD

Between the departure of DOCTOR Daryl Gross and the hiring of Mark Coyle, Syracuse University made Pete Sala interim athletic director. This time, as they search for Mark Coyle's replacement, they're going with a two-person team.

Dan French, SU's general counsel, will take over as interim athletic director for Syracuse Orange Athletics. He has served as the university's top lawyer since July 2014.

Meanwhile, Herman Frazier has been promoted to senior deputy director of athletics. Frazier has been with Syracuse since 2011. Frazier was previously AD at University of Alabama-Birmingham and Hawaii. Both stints ended in controversy and concern over the way Frazier had handled the programs, which might be part of the reason SU seems hesistant to hand over the full reigns to him.
