Syracuse is parting ways with several assistant coaches following a 3-9 season, On3 reported Monday.

Second-year head coach Fran Brown is dismissing special teams coordinator Ricky Brumfield, offensive line coach Dale Williams, defensive backs coach Joe Schaefer and co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Robert Wright, per the report.

After going 10-3 (5-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) in his first season with the Orange in 2024, Brown's squad ended this season on an eight-game losing streak and finished 1-7 in the ACC.

Syracuse's campaign closed with a 34-12 home loss to Boston College on Saturday.

"There's some decisions that I'll have to make coming up for the football team for Syracuse and I'm going to make the right decisions," Brown said after the game.
