A new coach, but at what position?

Published 9:30 pm Thursday, February 7, 2008

As I mentioned earlier, former Syracuse offensive coordinator Brian White was at tonight’s basketball game, and a source has confirmed that he has been hired, though to which job is still uncertain.

The Huskies need a running backs and tight ends/special team’s coach, and White, an offensive coordinator at Wisconsin before Syracuse, has some experience coaching both. According to his Syracuse bio, White coached tight ends in addition to his offensive coordinator duties during the last two seasons. Before that, he was the offensive coordinator/running backs coach at Wisconsin from 1999-2005. He coached running backs at Wisconsin from 1995-1998.

I’m guessing Tyrone Willingham will make it official in the next couple of days.
