It might appear random that two former Cougars wound up on the identical workers, however there are positively some deep BYU connections at Syracuse.

The day after Christmas final 12 months, former BYU offensive coordinator Robert Anae was named to the identical submit at Syracuse. That transfer happened after former Cougars head coach Bronco Mendenhall abruptly resigned as head coach of the Virginia Cavaliers on Dec. 2, leaving Anae jobless, as he had been the Cavaliers’ offensive coordinator.

Anae introduced one other jobless former BYU and Virginia coach with him to Syracuse, quarterbacks coach Jason Beck.
