As the 2020 Syracuse Orange football season has descended into despair, there are fair and legitimate criticisms launched to Dino Babers and his staff and there are some unsubstantiated claims I’d like to address.
Several of you have echoed this sentiment that Babers took Scott Shafer’s players and rode them to a 10-win season while neglecting to fill various holes which have led to this thin roster. There have been multiple comments that this staff has failed to develop any players and lack the ability to land big recruits, or turn the players they get into valuable contributors.
