Kirk Martin was hired as the quarterback’s coach for Syracuse football in 2018 and succeeded Sean Lewis, who assumed head coaching duties at Kent State.
In wake of the ugly 2019 season (5-7, 2-6 ACC) that succeeded an unprecedented 2018 campaign for the Syracuse Orange (10-3, 6-2 ACC), Dino Babers decided to completely re-engineer his coaching staff. This included replacing Martin with now offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Sterlin Gilbert earlier this month.
In turn, Martin was forced to fill a brand new role that made him the teams’ senior analyst for football strategy.
