Vince Kehres Named New DC of Syracuse
After the close of the 2025 season, when Elijah Robinson’s title changed from Defensive Coordinator to Co-Defensive Coordinator, the writing was on the wall that he was being demoted from calling the defense. Following that move by Head Coach Fran Brown, he has now hired Vince Kehres to become the new Defensive Coordinator of the Syracuse Orange. Kehres heads to Central New York after serving as the Toledo Rockets (Mid-American Conference, or MAC) Defensive Coordinator for th

Looking Back on Bob Chesney
Taking a look back to the off-season before the 2024-25 campaign for the Syracuse Orange brings about an interesting question when it comes to the football program. Bob Chesney, the then-Head Coach of the Holy Cross Crusaders in NCAA Division I-AA (Football Championship Subdivision, or FCS), was up for the Syracuse head-coaching job. Chesney interviewed for the position, and ultimately was not chosen. But that did not take Chesney off of the NCAA Division I-A (Football Bowl S

Northeast Bout Ends with Orange Loss
Rivalry Week came to Central New York on a cold day in late Fall when the Boston College Eagles came from a few hours away in Massachusetts to face the Syracuse Orange for the 59th time that these two northeast institutions have met on the football field, dating back to October 18, 1924.

Get the Orange Some Milk for the Dunk Party
The Syracuse Orange and Binghamton Bearcats each began the 2025-26 season on a cool night in Central New York as the Bearcats traveled an hour north on Interstate-81 to Syracuse, New York, for a bout with the Orange. Syracuse was on the offensive glass early, scoring all six of their opening points off of offensive rebounds, with junior guard Naithan George scoring first on a jumper followed by a hook shot and jumper by sophomore forward Donnie Freeman to go ahead 6-0.

Dome Empties as Belichick Checkmates Orange
The Syracuse Orange had Steve Angeli as their starting quarterback for four games, where he aided the Orange to a 3-1 start to the season. With Angeli going out due to an Achilles injury, Rickie Collins, Jr., became the Syracuse starter. He had four games under center where he went 0-4. So for the ninth game of the 2025 Orange season, Head Coach Fran Brown turned elsewhere, with true freshman quarterback Joseph Filardi starting under center in this contest at home against the
