Rocky Long is going to Syracuse as their DC

According to Feldman. Interesting considering the talk of him wanting to stay in NM.

Man, wish he had came here

[Really Clark?]

Very surprised he decided to take that job.

We are not hiring an outside DC with no open position on that side of the ball.

Does Kirby still call his own defense?

He still could. Hadn't Arnett signed with Syracuse, then 10 days later Leach convinced him to come south?

Guys we dont need a DC. And no offense but he is almost 80

I agree but he's only 72. Lol

I wish we could have had Long with Leach when we first hired Leach. That would have been an epic duo.

According to Steve in an interview this week, Leach offered the job to Rocky Long first and he declined but told leach to hire Arnett.

That is what I had heard as well.

No opinion on this but if Arnett took Leach position, do we not have an open position on the defensive coaching staff?

No. Leach was the OC besides the HC. Arnett can be DC / HC, the void is in the offensive side.

Kirby controls everything about Georgia's D. Bama runs Saban's D with adjustments from his DC.
