Per a brief report from FootballScoop, the Orange is expected to hire Bowling Green special teams coordinator Alex Bayer in the same role at the 'Cuse. Assuming that occurs, Bayer would replace former Syracuse football special teams coordinator Ricky Brumfield, who is now in the same position at Oregon State.
This offseason, following a rough 3-9 record in the 2025 season, head coach Fran Brown has made significant changes to his assistant coaching staff. New coaches who have come in lately to join the Orange include defensive coordinator Vince Kehres, assistant head coach/co-defensive coordinator/defensive line coach John Scott Jr.
