The Syracuse University football team plays college football as a member of the Big East Conference. The school won a national championship in 1959, and one player in school history, Ernie Davis, was awarded the Heisman Trophy in 1961. The team plays home games in their on-campus facility, the Carrier Dome.
Following poor performance in the 2008 season, Syracuse fired head coach Greg Robinson on November 16, 2008. After much speculation over who may fill the vacancy, on December 11, 2008, Doug Marrone, the offensive coordinator for the New Orleans Saints, reportedly accepted the head coaching position.The Times-Picayune: Report: ...
