This upcoming college football season can be a make-or-break year for several coaches who face tremendous pressure to succeed on the gridiron.
Dino Babers, Syracuse
Syracuse is coming off its fifth losing season under Babers in the last six years, with the Orange posting a 29-43 record, including a 10-3 mark in 2018 that featured the program’s first bowl appearance since 2013. Athletics director John Wildhack threw his support behind Babers for the 2022 season after a flurry of assistant coaching changes, including firing offensive coordinator Sterlin Gilbert. To make matters worse, Syracuse faces one of the most demanding schedules in the country with games against Purdue, NC State, Clemson, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh and Wake Forest.
