Following a 31-22 loss on the road to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Syracuse Orange Head Football Coach Dino Babers has been relieved of his duties, effective immediately.
Nunzio Campanile, who has coached the tight ends this season under Babers, will serve as interim head coach for Syracuse for their regular-season finale at home against the Wake Forest De’Mon Deacons on Saturday, November 25, at 2pmET in the Dome.
"I appreciate everything Dino, his wife Susan, and their family have done over the last eight years for Syracuse Athletics, Syracuse University and most importantly, our student-athletes," stated Syracuse Director of Athletics John Wildhack. "Thanks to Dino’s leadership, our student-athletes have performed at the highest levels in the classroom, have dedicated countless hours to supporting our communities, and have gone on to achieve great success, both professionally and personally."
Wildhack went on to say, "As we embark on a change in leadership at the helm of Syracuse Football, on behalf of Syracuse University, I thank Coach Babers for his leadership, character, and dedication, and wish him well in his future endeavors.”
Ending just shy of a full eight seasons, the Babers' Era saw the team go 41-55 from 2016 through November 18, 2023.
During this time, Babers recorded individual season records of 4-8, 4-8, 10-3, 5-7, 1-10, 5-7, 7-6, and 5-6, from 2016 to the team's current season, achieving two bowl games, winning one of them, the Camping World Bowl in 2018 in Orlando, Florida.
