What about Pat Fitzgerald?

[FortWaynePurdueBoiler]

Forget how things ended at NW….Pat would be a good fit if you coupled him with a strong pass-first OC.

I have to think he would be available to start on Wednesday.

Just something for you to think about…

If pat didn't end his last 3 years as terrible I'd give him a vote of confidence, but as it stands he would be plan E to me. Behind top offensive coordinator. I don't give 2 shats about the hazing bs. It was just an excuse to fire a poor performing coach.

Hazing that was borderline sexual assault.

No F’ing way I would want that guy around my 18-24 year old son.

Guy can coach but clearly something was awry there. If you’re allowing crap like that to go on (or have no knowledge of it) you’re not a leader of men. We already kicked one bad leader to the curb…no need for another.

Fitz isn't going to coach anywhere until his lawsuit is settled. Also, he told someone I know he has no interest in coaching college football again. Since then I've heard differently. Chicago Catholic League rumors. He's been in Iowa City a lot. I've seen him around and spoken to him a bit. Obviously I'm not going to ask him direct questions.

Hows he feel about letting sexual abuse go on in his program?

I'm not quite sure what you typed here. I don't have any facts about alleged sexual abuse. You seem like a guy that operates at a high level. Why don't you directly ask him next time you see him?

You are so misinformed!! Pat Fitzgerald is a first class guy. Would be a great leader of the program! Need to tally to high school and college coaches that know him. You will hear nothing but Respect and Admiration for this man!!!

Misinformed. He got fired for just this.

You must not be entrusted with leading men or boys.

This is what I've heard. I'm assuming Northwestern settles with him. No way Northwestern wants this to get to discovery, depositions and trial. Northwestern University is not innocent in this matter. When I say matter I mean Fitzgerald -v Northwestern University.

Keep in mind the case has been consolidated. The players matter is within the Fitzgerald matter.

We'll all find out soon enough. Unlike some on here that apparently already know the outcome, and risk piercing the immunity dome with wild accusations prior to any facts being presented. Not something anyone with a net worth or brains would do I suspect.

So why did he get fired then?

Pretty gross that people entrusted him with their sons and he couldn’t lead them appropriately.

This dude needs to be all the way away from our program.

The allegations are disgusting.

So are they true…or was he clueless about what was going on in his program that he’s ultimately in charge of?

Either way…not a person who needs to be anywhere close to young men ever again.

What about the sons he was expected to protect and lead?
