Breaking Fitzgerald out at NW

[LoudHogRider]

Don’t care

Northwestern is worse off as a football program

Bunch of pervs

I get that Sun Tzu would approve (the enemy of my enemy is my friend) and this does weaken Northwestern, but I still don't care for the decision. It seems like their administration caved. With that said, I have NOT immersed myself in all of the allegations, so if they're truly sinister then you need a scapegoat. But based on what a lot of tPB members have commented on who HAVE read the tweets, it seems like pretty stupid stuff. Put a stop to it? Sure. Can the corch? Hmmmmm.

 

[Herbie]

Why?

He dick slapped the ad after and argument

 

[Jim14510]

I'll say it: I think it's bullshit. Pat was the head corch, so the shit rolls uphill to his desk, but it appears that a handful of malcontents have skewed the narrative to the point where the "bundles of sticks" that ran the University felt like they HAD to make a change. Clearly the letter of support which, IIRC, was signed by EVERY current player wasn't enough to save his job. Cancel culture wins again, and that sucks IMO.

He was also 1-11 last year and staring at a optimistic 3 win season. I'm not sure anyone can do better than he did but maybe?

He had a $51.7 million buyout and was 4-20 in the last 2 seasons with no signs of being that much better this season.

Shrewd financial move, imo

I don’t think so

 

[nscottie]

Over and unders on Frost applying for job. He would be perfect. They are perpetually bottom dwellers and no one cares

Didn’t they get a new AD very recently?

 

[Kaladin]

Northwestern is going to be the Big Ten dormat for eternity

Yeah in 2021 after this guy resigned (BR wouldn't link, but resigned for mishandling sexual harassment allegations made by a cheerleader)

Perfect job for Frost. He can continue to lose and no one cares

 

[HuskerDocCo]

Sounds like their baseball team will be looking for a coach soon too -

staff member please

[Baron Winnebago]

Yeah I'm really curious as to what changed from the "lolz take 2 dead period weeks off" to "you're fired". If it was student newspaper stories NW has real shitty leadership

Or really really bad investigators.

Maybe the law firm hit them with a "Subscribe to our OnlyFans account for X rated investigative content that's too risque to be free"

While I agree, a conference team just got worse - allegedly.

Watch them hire someone better LMAO

 

[BorWhiskey]

I think if we're being honest, Fitz's problem was not winning enough games to justify keeping him when things started to get rocky off the field

Well, when they were winning games, butt fucking wasn’t a practice drill.

Didnt they get a bright shiny new football facility too? Or was that Illinois?
