NICE!

Wait we're poaching a P5 DC!? Um... !?!?!?!?

This is new territory for the Syracuse football program. Props to John Wildhack and Dino for getting the right person for this key job.

I really think the program was at a major crossroads. Really glad how things worked out!

OK, I'll ask it--why would he make a lateral move from ASU to Syracuse?

I believe 100% Herm Edwards is about family and if this guy White was straight up with Herm, I respect that honarable approach and give props to Herm. To Herm...

White on what led him to leave ASU for Syracuse: "This was the first time I'd be able to go back and be close to family. I really credit everything ASU has done for me and my family. It was a tough choice but, in the end, it was a simple decision right there."

Does he need a new GA?

 

[hoopsupstate]

It sounds like White was Dino’s first choice and was able to come back to him a second time with more money. Good job by Dino and Wildhack. Being a great recruiter is another big plus. It appears we have gained some credibility on the recruiting trail with our two new coordinator hires.

 

[Symphony Steve]

I'll try to answer my own question--maybe Herm's the de-facto DC at ASU?

 

[Alsacs]

This hire is a

Well done Dino.

 

[TheHaze315]

So i had doubts about how strong we’d be able to bounce back from Zach screwing us, but i am very very pleasantly surprised.. in Dino we trust.

I know his ties are to the west coast, but the skills that made him a top recruiter on the west coast will serve him well on the east coast too. Welcome aboard!

I love it but we fans are such hypocrites.

Tony White enters his second season as the cornerbacks coach and defensive passing game coordinator for Sun Devil Football.

White, who coached the program's defensive backs the previous two seasons, has helped lead the Sun Devil defense to exceptional improvements in his first couple years in Tempe.

The Sun Devil defense finished the regular season 39th in scoring defense, allowing just 23.1 points per game – notables as the Sun Devils had finished 99th or worse in three consecutive seasons prior to White's arrival in Tempe. ASU has held opponents to 30 points or less in 16 of 25 games in the previous two seasons after opponents scored at least 30 in 32 of 43 games previously.

Would have been nice if he said “Ohana” instead of “family.”
