Syracuse makes hiring of Dino Babers official in press release

After multiple reports of Dino Babers’ hiring as Syracuse’s new football coach surfaced Saturday morning, SU Athletics made it official a couple hours later.

Here are four quotes from SU Athletics’ press release.

Dino Babers:

“It is a true honor to have been selected to lead Syracuse University football, a program steeped in rich tradition, excellence, and success, both on and off the field. There were many coaching opportunities out there but none more attractive or exciting than this one. I’ve always admired Syracuse Football’s scrappy demeanor, grit, and winning mentality, but what attracted me to this position even more is the University’s intense focus on preparing its student-athletes for a lifetime of success.
