From the moment he arrived as Head Coach of the Syracuse Orange, Dino Babers has preached that he wanted his program to be “consistently good, not occasionally great”. As he enters his 6th season are fans really going to be happy with a program that wins six games over a series of years or would they rather take the 2016-2019 years which featured losing seasons with upset wins leading up a 10-win thrill ride? (We’ve all agreed last year doesn’t count for anyone right? Right!)
This isn’t a piece to say that 2018 gives Babers a lifetime pass of underwhelming seasons but rather to pose the question to you.
