Finally Syracuse football head coach Dino Babers has earned a little recognition, albeit only half recognition.
“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”, per the Syracuse University press release.
Reminder Syracuse was projected to finish last in the ACC Atlantic Division prior to the season starting. Not only did they NOT finish in last, but in fact they finished in second place only behind the Clemson Tigers.
