Syracuse, Robinson hire Applewhite
Newly named Syracuse head football coach and recently departed Texas defensive coordinator Greg Robinson hired UT's beloved Major Applewhite to be its quarterbacks coach. Applewhite, 26, had been a graduate assistant at Texas for the past two years.
Everyone loves Major, so it's sad to see him go, but something tells me he'll be back. There may be some outcry that Brown let him go, but this makes sense, really. Major can be given more responsibility and room to learn at Syracuse than he can at Texas, so why not let him go for a few years? After he gets his feet wet as a quarterbacks coach, I'm certain he'll be an offensive coordinator somewhere. And then when Mack decides to call it a career and retire, who will be primed to be UT's most popular head coach hire ever? Major...
He'll be back.
