Syracuse fired football coach Dino Babers on Sunday after eight years with the program, ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported.
The team is planning to name tight ends coach Nunzio Campanile the interim coach for the remainder of the season. He previously acted as interim coach at Rutgers in 2019.
The Orange fell to 5–6 on Saturday following their 31–22 loss to Georgia Tech. The team started out the season strong by going 4–0. However, Syracuse lost the next five games, putting them below .500 on the season.
