Since Dino Babers has stepped foot here in Syracuse he has preached belief without evidence. Suggesting to fans both old and young that he will deliver a winner to Orange Nation, but he needed their faith.
That faith was tested in the first two years of the Babers’ experience with the Orange going 4-8 in each of those seasons. There were glimmers of hope with Syracuse taking out a top-25 team in Virginia Tech and then following that up with a massive upset of the Clemson Tigers in the Carrier Dome.
Yet there was still a level of uneasiness when you took a gander at the overall coaching record.
