Said it before and I'll say it again. Go get Chris Rippon.
During Rippon's tenure at Syracuse, the Orange produced many record setting performances on defense and special teams that translated into one of the top eras in Syracuse history. His 1999 defensive unit was one of the nation's top-15 defenses throughout the season and the following year Syracuse ranked in the Top 25 nationally in multiple defensive categories. The 2001 SU defense accumulated an impressive 40 quarterback sacks, the second most in school history, and forced 30 turnovers, the most takeaways during Paul Pasqualoni's coaching tenure at SU. His special teams units produced three All-American return specialists in Marvin Harrison, Quinton Spotwood and Kevin Johnson.
