I think Travis is a great hire.  But Chris Achuff has been coaching the 3-3-5 for a couple of years already.  He has coached in the NFL.  And he was a DC at Navarro.

If you look at Darrell Perkins, he has a lot more experience coaching than Travis.  And he was a co-DC at Fordham.

It will be hard for Travis to move by both, especially Achuff.

I think the 3-3-5 is going to remain a hot defense in coming years.  More schools like Nebraska are going to want to give it a try.  I expect this will make Syracuse defensive coaches more interesting to other staffs and we will continue to see other schools try and steal them away.

Might be one of the reasons Coach Fisher and Coach Perkins decided to come here.  It is a great place to be if you are a defensive aassistant that wants to be a DC someday.  Or maybe even become a HC, like Jason Arnett.

Thinking Coach Achuff is likely to succeed Coach Long when he decides to retire.  The other coaches look like they could become DCs down the road as well.
