Message: [QUOTE="BillSU, post: 4284310, member: 6809"] Thought you'd like to know more facts about"swag daddy" since he's been in the business, especially at SU. Nick has been successful wherever he’s been. His “swag” is well deserved. And to add an excellent accent to his career he drives a Cobra powered black Mustang. If we are successful this year better raise him again there are plenty of offers, I bet, he has in his back pocket. [URL='https://cuse.com/staff-directory/nick-monroe/542']Nick Monroe - Defensive Passing Game Coordinator/Safeties - Staff Directory - Syracuse University Athletics[/URL] Monroe was a four-year letterwinner at cornerback for St. Cloud State University in Minnesota. He earned his undergraduate degree in marketing from the school in 2001. Nick Monroe, who has won conference championships at each of his previous coaching stops, is in his seventh year with the Orange. He joined the staff in 2016 and served as Syracuse’s secondary coach for two seasons before narrowing his focus to the Orange’s safeties and nickelbacks in 2018, and safeties and rovers in 2020. Over the past four seasons, Monroe has co-directed a Syracuse pass defense that has thrived on creating turnovers. The Orange have intercepted 46 passes in 48 games (0.96 per game) since the start of 2018, including a streak of 17 straight games with a pick from Aug. 31, 2018 to Sept. 21, 2019. The streak tied for the third-longest in major college football since 2004. In his current role of coaching safties and rovers, Monroe took a group that lost a pair of NFL DBs due to injury early in the season in 2020, turning to start three freshmen at the three spots. Ja’Had Carter became a Freshman All-American under his watch, finishing the year with 67 tackles and two interceptions. Rob Hanna also notched north of 50 tackles in his first season of college football. The group excelled in 2021, as ‘Cuse put together its best total defense season in a decade, finishing second in the ACC and 19th nationally after allowing just 330 yards per game. In 2018, Syracuse’s defensive backfield was fifth nationally in interceptions (18). His unit was directly responsible for 11 picks, including an FBS-leading seven by freshman Andre Cisco. The takeaways contributed to a 111-46 advantage in points off turnovers, as the Orange went 10-3 and won the 2018 Camping World Bowl. Cisco was recognized as one of the top safeties in America. He was voted the ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year and became the first true freshman in program history to earn All-America honors. It only gets better - please click on the link if you care to.
