Syracuse football: time for the next chapter

The Syracuse Orange will have a new head coach going into the 2024 season. They will have a very reasonable schedule. What they won’t have is the faith in the program from many Orange fans.....and with good reason.

I don’t expect Dino Babers to be fired this weekend, or this week, but last night was the final nail. Backup QB, backup offensive line, backup wide receivers, it doesn’t matter. The Orange had LeQuint Allen and nothing else on offense and let a Boston College team escape with a 17-10 win to clinch bowl eligibility.

The narrative continues that BC is rising as the season goes on and while I completely disagree that they are anything other than a mediocre team beating bad teams, the fact remains that perception matters more than anything.
