College football coaching vacancies: Whos in, whos out

Out: Syracuse fired Dino Babers on Nov. 19 after the Orange’s second consecutive late-season collapse. Babers was 41-55 at Syracuse with only two winning seasons.

In: The university announced on Nov. 28 that Georgia defensive backs coach Fran Brown has been named the 31st head coach of the Orange. Syracuse touted the 41-year-old Brown, a New Jersey native who has long mined the Northeast for high school talent, as “the nation’s top recruiter.” A cornerback at Western Carolina, Brown played two seasons in the NFL, then began his coaching career at Paul VI High in Chantilly, Va., before stints at Temple, Baylor and Rutgers.
