New DC: Rocky Long (now official)

[SanDiegoCuse]

This is so huge. He’s by far the best coach on this staff now. I’m ecstatic!!

I mean, I don't know what option could have possibly been better.

This is amazing.

Swag should get a big raise.

His recruiting and other efforts likely made the DC position far more attractive than it otherwise would be

 

[DPCuse]

Monroe does not appear to be upset. I imagine DC would have been a huge jump for him. Probably a touch of a relief having a veteran like Long come in to learn under for a few years before being considered for a DC position.

 

[BillSU]

No worries we are usually Sunny and 68 in Mid January

Not Christmas week to come the entire nation is going to be freezing their badangies off. Hope you get up to 32.

3-3-5 in the 315. Love it

I will be interested in our recruiting now that Mr. Long, THE DC, is here. He could have a profound effect on early recruiting/signing although not much time left but also the regular recruiting & signing period. Watch the portal now. Could be very good he's here right now in the middle of things.

You want to play excellent D go to play your ball at Syracuse. They are suddenly very relevant in that category.

Yeah he is so loyal to Dino and I am sure he will get a nice raise and potentially an off the record DC in waiting title, assuming he wants that of course

I read that Rocky was making $300K at New Mexico. We know Tony made $700K in 2020. Wonder how much we had to pony up to convince Rocky to head to SU? $1mil?

Well I mean people need to understand too that not everyone wants to be the boss - some people are perfectly content being an exceptional specialist whether it’s football or corporate life. We all just assume Monroe wants to be a DC.

Mr. Long is a man of unimpeachable integrity. I’m sure he was enticed to Syracuse solely by professional considerations. My belief is that he took the same $300K he was making at New Mexico plus airfare and a Syracuse clothing allowance.

Love to see Monroe's tweet in support. He's such a valuable part of this staff and hope he can develop into DC eventually.

On Rocky Long, seems short of keeping Tony White there is no better option to fit our talent - literally invented the 335 - and has delivered tremendous results. I'm super pumped we've come back strong after some tough news.

Anyone know why we went White over Long two years ago? Were tehy both actual candidates?

Lets' go 2023...excited to see them in the Pinstripe live!
