Syracuse Fires Head Coach Dino Babers After Eight Seasons

The team started the season strong but has since struggled, leading to a search for a new head coach.

Syracuse has fired head coach Dino Babers after eight seasons, during which he led the team to a 41-55 record.
The team started the 2023 season with a 4-0 record but has since lost six of their last seven games.
Potential candidates for the job include Toledo coach Jason Candle, Holy Cross coach Bob Chesney, Notre Dame defensive coordinator Al Golden, New England Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien, Florida State offensive coordinator Alex Atkins and Colorado offensive coordinator Sean Lewis.
Syracuse has struggled to stay relevant in the ACC under Babers, with the team winning just 20 conference games and only once posting a winning mark.
The 2018 season was the high point of Babers' tenure, with the Orange winning 10 games and beating 15th-ranked West Virginia in the Camping World Bowl.
