American college football season
The 1990 Syracuse Orangemen football team represented
Syracuse University in the
1990 NCAA Division I-A 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.
