Obviously losing Justin Lustig as special teams coordinator is a tough start to 2021 for the Syracuse Orange football program. Special teams has been a strength for the Orange in recent years, and Lustig was a large part of that. Finding a quality name to fill that spot is a priority for Dino Babers as the offseason hiring season really gets rolling.
While Babers plucked Lustig out of relative obscurity (he was the head coach at D2 Edinboro University) to take over SU special teams back in 2018, there’s a chance he opts for more of a known commodity this time around.
