New DC: Tony White

[PhatOrange]

Funny how things work out sometimes.

Syracuse hires Tony White as defensive coordinator

Syracuse reportedly has its defensive coordinator, and it is the man that was their top target during the original search. The Orange have brought in Tony White from Arizona

Just wow.

and what a great article to.

I hope it works out! Just think it's too soon to say they are home runs.

This is a fan forum where I definitely see through orange colored glasses sooooo you are not wrong my friend lol.

I do believe in terms of crootin’ these are home runs in comparison tho! On the field , time will tell!

So he was our first choice, he said no, we went to Arnett, then when he left we went back to White with an even better offer. So basically, we didn’t go to plan b or a back up. We got our #1 choice. Alls well that ends well.

 

[llandz]

Gonna be a shock for him, at least at first, to come back to this climate after being away awhile

Good news is we have had a pretty colder winter this year. Very little opportunity to feel real warmth. Many nights in the 30s, and days in the 40s/50s. Still today...I travel back all the time. The body adjusts quickly. Biggest difference is the grey versus bright blue skies every day. That one is hard to adjust to.

In his Signing Day presser, Dino was asked about White being the new DC:

"I can neither confirm or deny this."

But he said it with a smile on his face.

 

[Chip]

Well she did name him Tony which is derived from To NY.

Mind

Blown

So basically, Zach Arnett was and is Number Two.

Ughh as soon as I force myself to be calm "I'm not going to have crazy expectations for cuse football this year" we get a slam dunk. Ughh I can't wait until August

Always the bride, never the bridesmaid.

 

[orangepassion]

He's already made it further than Arnett

 

[orangepassion]

I find it interesting he wasn't offered until Monday night. I wonder what Dino was doing until that point-focusing on recruiting? Trying to get more money approved to hire him?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I'm not sure we can make those definitive statements yet.

Gilbert's last two stops as an OC did not end well and he faced similar criticism to what we heard last year.

USF’s Sterlin Gilbert headed to McNeese State

The widely criticized Bulls offensive coordinator is wrapping up his second season in Tampa

White has never been a DC before so who knows what to expect.

Yeah, there are reasons to be cautious about getting too optimistic.

It's harsh, but I didn't feel like Ward and Lynch were risers (Lewis was). I believe our new coordinators are.

 

[Rocco]

Zach Arnett who?

Good job, Dino. To hell with the haters...

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Hey Jon Bon Jovi’s kid‘s coming!

My wife said that Neil Patrick Harris' kid is at SU as well.

 

[Cheriehoop]

My wife said that Neil Patrick Harris' kid is at SU as well.

I thought he only had twins - boy & girl who are only around 9 years old? Maybe one of then is like Doogie himself?

Not unless they take after the Doogie Howser side of the family; they're 8.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Speaking of Doogie, in like 20 years when NPH is a bit older I think it would be awesome to bring that show back and pick up the storyline. What's Doogie like as he approaches retirement? What has he seen over the years and how has it changed him? He could be the head of a special medical residency program for brilliant up and comers.

Tell me you wouldn't watch the Hell out of that show.

I'll wait.

What a great show. Totally ridiculous premise, but a great show nonetheless.

And there's your reason why contracts don't get signed immediately.

 

[WoadBlue]

If he is making the move to be closer to his mother, as he said, then you really should not have to worry about him leaving unless he gets an HC offer he wants.

Yep, We have had enough positive news the past week that I can see the kool aid man, he is sitting in my living room laughing at me.

 

[qdawgg]

Maybe Arnett didn’t pass the background check

 

[orangepassion]

Fantastic article. Thinking with reverting to the 3-3-5, maybe there's a chance Stanard could stick with the LB's, giving more flexibility to who you bring in w/ the last coaching spot.

 

[Orangezoo]

Aggressiveness on both sides of the ball. I can't freaking wait. Big-time recruiter and a sound defensive mind to boot.
