RALEIGH, N.C. – Orange head football coach Dino Babers was voted the co-Atlantic Coast Conference Coach of the Year by the Associated Press on Tuesday, Dec. 4. Babers, who led Syracuse to a 9-3 regular-season record and a berth in the Camping World Bowl, shared the award with Clemson's Dabo Swinney.
After being picked last in the ACC Atlantic Division during the preseason, Syracuse posted a 6-2 league record and finished second in the division behind No. 2 Clemson. The Orange cracked the national polls for the first time since 2001 and are one of three Power-Five teams (Baylor and Florida are the others) that have increased their win total by five from last season.
