For the third straight year in a row, John Desko has been named the ACC’s Coach of the Year. The Syracuse Orange are in position to have its first one-loss regular season since 2011 (one regular season game versus the Colgate Red Raiders remains). If SU beats Colgate this weekend it will be the fourth time in the Desko era that Syracuse had just one regular season loss (2000, 2010, 2011).
Obviously we have heard a lot of the #fireDesko in the last few years, but this may be the head boss’ best coaching job ever. The 2017 Preseason Coaches’ Poll picked Syracuse to finish third in the Conference.
