Babers joins Boston College’s Steve Addazio as one of two ACC football coaches to receive contract extensions this week.
After two seasons as a head coach at Bowling Green (2014-15), Babers brought his go-go spread offense to Syracuse. After just eight wins across his first two seasons, Syracuse won nine games this year, and earned a bid in the 2018 Camping World Bowl.
