Syracuse Orange

Syracuse football has hired Dale Williams as its offensive line coach, the school announced officially on Wednesday. FootballScoop reported that the Orange was set to hire Williams last month, and the program has now made the move official. He brings 25 years of coaching experience to SU.

"I'd like to thank Coach Brown for naming me offensive line coach," Williams said in a statement through a press release. "I'm excited to coach at a University with such a strong tradition. I've played in the Dome as both a player and coach as a member of the visiting team, and I'm looking forward to a much better atmosphere as a member of the Syracuse football program."

Williams was at Louisville last season as a Senior Quality Control Coach after six years as Purdue’s offensive line coach under Jeff Brohm.

"Coach Williams is really, really intelligent and understands the screen game a lot differently than a lot of other people we interviewed," head coach Fran Brown said in a statement. "He has a good grasp on what they're doing at the NFL level when it comes to screens. He loves running power and counter. He loves mauling people. Just everything about what it is to be an o-line guy. He's able to relate to the kids and they love being around him. This is a tough offensive line guy, I like him a lot and am glad he's on our staff."

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting. EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans. After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years. Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports. Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
