The
1990 Syracuse Orangemen
football team represented Syracuse
University
in the 1991 Division I-A college football season.
This season marked the end of two eras for Syracuse football.
First, it was
Dick MacPherson’s
final year as head coach. He would leave to coach the
1991 New England Patriots.
Second, it was the final season for Syracuse football as an
independent. Starting with the
1991 season, the
Big East Conference, of which
Syracuse was a founding member, began sponsoring football
competition.
