Syracuse’s Fran Brown Reassigns QB Coach in Midseason Offensive Shake-Up

He says injured starter Steve Angeli will reclaim the job when healthy.

Overview

  • Brown moved quarterbacks coach Nunzio Campanile to tight ends and assigned Michael Johnson Sr. to coach the quarterbacks.
  • The adjustments follow a 27-10 home loss to North Carolina that extended Syracuse’s losing streak to five games and dropped the team to 3-6 (1-5 ACC).
  • Against UNC, Syracuse completed 4 of 18 passes for 39 yards after starting walk-on freshman Joe Filardi and briefly using true freshman Luke Carney.
  • Brown said this week’s starter at Miami will be decided in practice, and he expects Carney to preserve a redshirt with only one more appearance available.
  • Earlier reports also pointed to changes involving wide receivers coach Myles White, which the program had not detailed publicly.
