FILE - Syracuse head coach Dino Babers watches from the sideline during the second half of an NCAA college football game against North Carolina State in Raleigh, N.C., Nov. 20, 2021. Syracuse was one win shy of securing a bowl game berth last season but lost the last three to finish at 5-7. The late-season swoon prompted staff changes. Babers fired offensive coordinator Sterlin Gilbert and brought in Robert Anae from Virginia and also hired Jason Beck from the Cavaliers as quarterbacks coach. (AP Photo/Karl B DeBlaker, File)
