DC back to be our new DC?

Sorry for the delay on this one. Old Orange Defensive Dunce Steve Russ is out.

Not newsworthy because: (1) the Defense probably could have coached itself to better performances. (2) Would anyone have noticed if Russ was there or not? Seriously, would you?

Perhaps newsworthy due to: Should this tell the nation of Orange Onslaught that Russ knew maybe he should take a demotion this year instead of being completely out of a job next year? Think about it, one more year with that defense and NO ONE would be knocking at his door. Programs looking to rebuild wouldn't look to someone who directed one of the worst D's in the nation. And those looking to remain on top... come on, I don't even have to say it. Syracuse went 2-10 last season and allowed 34.8 points and 468.7 yards per game. RB's could have ridden big wheels though the gaps in our "fense." Does this mean Russ believes the Orange are doomed to become Juice? Yikes! Scary to think about.

Definitely newsworthy for this reason: Dan Conley, one of Citrus Nation's favorite son's may be on his way back, and hopefully not for just a 7th year of eligibility. Though, perhaps DC could help the Orange more by tackling than teaching. Speculation courtesy of Nunesmagician suggests its all but a done deal.

We all remember Dan Conley, right. Number 49. 6 year vet. Game saving tackle against Rutgers on a 2 pt. try in his senior, well, third senior season? Anyways, any change at this point is a good change. And any change that brings in an alum with serious knowledge about playing linebacker, playing defense in the Big East, and how strong a defense needs to be gets my approval. After all, apparently Keith Bullock has a pretty good job somewhere down in Tennessee. And we were going to get a hold of any kids Coach P might have, but Pat Knight had no comment on how those things turn out yet. So let's stick with DC.
