After Syracuse football lost its fourth straight last Saturday afternoon at home against Wake Forest to drop to 1-6, putting the Orange in the basement of the Atlantic Coast Conference standings, a growing section of the ‘Cuse fan base declared that head coach Dino Babers needs to go.
We recently penned this column in which a discussion centered on the likelihood that Babers isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, due to his contract and buyout, unless he does so of his own choosing. However, I can’t imagine a scenario where that would occur.
Still, even though the Orange has faced an abundance of significant injuries to its roster in the fall term, as well as some player opt-outs amid the novel coronavirus pandemic, that doesn’t necessarily mean Babers should get a total pass on the disaster that has ensued in the 2020 campaign to date.
