Syracuse, N.Y. -- Fans watching the Syracuse football team at the Carrier Dome or on TV from afar Saturday night might notice an assistant wearing a kilt.
Who is this kilt-wearing coach and why does he wear it?
His name is Dave Chirco, an assistant strength coach for the Orange. Chirco was a three-sport star at Weedsport before graduating in 2011 and continuing his football career at Utica College, where he played defensive end and later served as a student assistant.
When he joined the Syracuse football program as an assistant, head strength and conditioning coach Sean Edinger picked him to continue a tradition used back when Edinger was with Dino Babers at Bowling Green.
