SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) -Syracuse head coach Doug Marrone says the university has “parted ways” with assistant head coach Bob Casullo.
Marrone made the announcement Monday during his weekly media address after a reporter asked about Casullo’s status.
“It’s in the best interest of the program to part ways,” said Marrone, who declined to elaborate.
Marrone said defensive backs coach John Anselmo will take over Syracuse’s special teams for the final regular season game on Saturday against Boston College (6-5) and the team’s ensuing bowl. Quarterbacks coach Nathaniel Hackett will take over the tight ends.
This was Casullo’s second stint with the Orange. The 59-year-old Little Falls, N.Y., native also was special teams coordinator from 1985-94 under former coaches Dick MacPherson and Paul Pasqualoni.
Syracuse (7-4) is coming off a home loss to Connecticut but is bowl eligible for the first time since 2004.
