Syracuse got Marrone from New Orleans:
Syracuse has hired New Orleans Saints offensive coordinator Doug Marrone as its next head coach, Adam Schefter of NFL Network is reporting.
According to Schefter, Marrone accepted the job today from Chicago, where he’s with the Saints to play the Bears tonight. Marrone is expected to stay with the Saints through the season before he begins the Syracuse job.
Marrone has never been a head coach at any level. He has worked as a college assistant coach at Cortland College, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, Northeastern, Georgia Tech, Georgia and Tennessee. In addition to his three years on the staff of the Saints, he was a New York Jets assistant from 2002 to 2005.
As a player, Marrone was a Syracuse offensive lineman from 1983 to 1985 and played briefly in the NFL, with the Miami Dolphins in 1987 and the Saints in 1989, as well as the London Monarchs of the World League of American Football in 1991.
