Tyrone Wheatley fills opening on Syracuse staff

Doug Marrone wasted little time in filling an unexpected opening on his staff, hiring former Michigan All-America tailback Tyrone Wheatley to coach running backs at Syracuse University. The hiring was announced earlier this evening, a day after Roger Harriott resigned following a change of heart. Wheatley, who spent last season coaching running backs at Eastern Michigan, had relationships with two members of Marrone’s staff. – Post-Standard
