Coaching Accomplishments

A veteran coach of the NFL and college football, Bullough has coached every position on the defensive side of the ball and the offensive line.

During his coaching tenure, he has been a part of very successful football teams and programs, having coached in nine bowl games and six NFL playoff games.

During his 20-year career, he has mentored seven NFL Pro Bowl players and three alternates, five collegiate All-Americans, and numerous collegiate players who played in the NFL.

The 2014 Orange defense held nine of its 12 opponents to less than its season average for total offense and was one of four FBS teams to surrender fewer than 10 rushing touchdowns (9). Alabama (5), TCU (9) and Ole Miss (9) were the others.

In 2014, the SU defense was responsible for four touchdowns (2 INT returns, 2 fumble returns), including two in the team’s win at Wake Forest.

In 2013, the Syracuse defense finished ranked nationally in multiple categories, including third-down defense (15th), rush defense (24th), sacks (18th), and tackles for loss (18th).

SU was the only FBS team in the nation not to allow a 100-yard rusher in 2013.
