33+ min ago (337+ words) Syracuse, N.Y. " Syracuse has fired several members of its coaching staff, according to multiple reports, including On3. Special teams coordinator Ricky Brumfield, offensive line coach Dale Williams, defensive backs coach Joe Schaefer and linebackers coach/co-defensive coordinator Robert Wright were relieved of their duties Monday. Brumfield replaced James Vollono after the 2024 season in which Fran Brown was displeased with his special teams unit. All other coaches have been with Brown since he first took the Syracuse job in late 2023. Syracuse struggled to tackle, again, and struggled to defend against the pass in the middle of the field.

Syracuse's defense was bad overall, with just two of its starters earning a Pro Football Focus grade of 70 or better. Deslaurier was the next closest with a grade of…...

Now the team travels north to Foxborough to take on the Patriots, who have everything to play for. They have been able to pass the ball with Drake Maye emerging as one of the premier young quarterback talents in the league." It will be important to get to him and make it difficult for him to concentrate on delivering the football. To do that, the edge rushers need to win against the Patriots' tackles." On the other side, the Patriots will look to exploit the Giants' weakness in their run defense, and part of that will be attacking the edge rushers to run outside or off tackle. This…...

" Section III's girls and boys volleyball coaches are putting the final preseason touches on teams that will be taking the court for real within the next few days. By this point, the coaches should have a good idea what each of their players has to offer.

3+ hour, 35+ min ago (187+ words) I put the phone back and pretended I had not seen anything, but I have felt sick to my stomach ever since. I keep replaying their words and wondering what else they say when I am not around. Do I admit what I saw and risk invading their privacy even more, or keep quiet and try to change my behavior without them knowing why? How do I stay close to my kids when it seems they are happier keeping me in the dark? -- Hurt in the Group Chat Dear Hurt: You just discovered something all parents eventually learn: Our kids have a "family version" of us and a "group chat version" of us.
