Lessons
The Coach
Rocky Long | Defensive Coordinator | Syracuse
Though he is old school in his presentation, Rocky Long is one of the most innovative defensive minds in college football. He brought the 3-3-5 defense to prominence.
Long - who boasts nearly 50 years of coaching experience, 20 of which came as a head coach at the FBS level - will take over a Syracuse defense that has finished in the top 30 nationally in total defense in back-to-back seasons, running the defensive scheme that he made famous.
Coach Long's tenure spans over four decades. Highlights such as being the winningest head coach in Mountain West Conference history, the winningest coach in New Mexico history, and amassing the second-most wins of any coach at San Diego State and four 10-win seasons, including a stretch of three-straight, in his nine years at the helm of the Aztecs.
