Cast your mind back to December 2015. The Syracuse Orange just found its new football head coach in Dino Babers. He asked the media in attendance at his introductory press conference to close their eyes. What Babers said next set the tone for the type of football he wanted to play at Syracuse.
“You have an offense that will not huddle and you have a game that is faster than you’ve ever seen on turf,” said Babers.
That fast tempo, no-huddle offense has defined Babers as a head coach. Syracuse consistently pushed the pace of the game while he was in charge.
