Breaking Fitzgerald out at NW

[nscottie]

Lol and that's a story if told by the wrong person that could be construed as sexual harrasment.

The fact they’re listening to Taylor Swift is the most cringe worthy part of story

It's just not even 1% believable that a 150 person team had dry hump rape going on for the past 15 years and nobody ever said anything.

Yes, I would protest people having sex on a public beach. How is that even a question

Let's not get too hasty here. What does this hypothetical woman look like? Is there perhaps 2 women?

we'll never know. Private university, the report is staying confidential. All we'll know is that some guys separately have told the school paper Fitz pointed guys out and that there is a picture of a whiteboard in the locker room allegedly show tracked names of people who were punished and which allegedly was there for the 4 years the guy who posted the picture was on the team.

We do know Fitz was HC there for 17 years and that Fitz has said publicly there was hazing when he was on the team in the 90s. I find it hard to believe he didn't know, but if it's true he did not, he shouldn't have the job. He had to have been incredibly out of touch with the team if that were true. That would be my conclusion of he worked for me. The school has a zero tolerance policy for hazing - my question as his supervisor would be to ask him what steps he took to make sure there was no hazing. He clearly didn't do anything robust - that is reason enough to fire him.

I just call complete bullshit on the idea that Fitz didn't know. No fucking way. Can't be proven of course but just no way he didn't know/encourage this shit

Joe didn't know either

Seems like the perfect job for monkey tits.

Guy's been begging for an opportunity at a P5 so he can stop running the triple, is from the chicago boonies, and after this would probably have all the patience in the world.

Great move for him and great timing.

I love locker room stories. Here's another.
High school football after a game. There's a stereo in the locker room playing some Taylor Swift (God only knows why), and the first line in the chorus of this song goes, "Drop everything now".

One of our linemen is straight up rocking out to this questionable song, and when the chorus comes, drop everything now, he yanks down his drawers perfectly timed on the beat of "now". Unbeknownst to him, the head coach had just walked in and witnessed the whole thing from the rear side. He just stood there perfectly still in silence for about 8 seconds wondering wtf he just saw, shook his head, sighed, and walked to his office.

Unknown to the coach, I believe, a guy who acted like a jackass most of the time tried putting his Jimmy on my buddy who was twice his size. My buddy grabbed him and dented in one of those old metal lockers with that kid’s body. Same kid and a few other used to play “shower soccer” with a bar of soap. There’s some fucking strange people in this world and it wouldn’t hurt for them to have their asses kicked.

Thats why im a swiftie gives me a stiffy

 

[Sous Chef]

I guess what I find interesting is his son is on the team. Either he never witnessed it, or never told his dad, or he did tell him.

Maybe Fitz thinks this is all part of becoming a real man?

The more I read into this the more it sounds like some locker room stuff that maybe offended a few guys. They told those stories to people who had never been in a locker room before and of course the media blew it out of proportion.

When I was in college, our starting center would wait, naked, in a 3 point stance. As soon as a freshman walked through the door he'd snap it to them. If they caught the snap, he'd jump up and down clapping for them and then give them a big, naked hug. So his fatness and dick are swing around in joy because you caught the ball and then he'd give you a big hug. Lol so dumb, but fucking funny.

To us, growing up in a locker room, that was just funny. If you've never experienced locker room behavior, it seems wildly inappropriate. This is what this feels like to me.

Now if they were fingering buttholes or something, then yeah that's weird even by locker room standards.

But I think a few ex players had a vendetta. I think Northwestern has a bunch of media students that want to be able to say they took down the mean old traditional, white head coach. And you have a new president and AD at the school who know they can't win the fight with the media.

Lockerroom behavior at least is capped on how far the shenanigans will go. Guys are doing shit for a laugh all the time but if they cross a line, the group will let em know.

The hazing just escalates year after year, the young guys who get passed the baton & hated their initiation, want the next group to suffer as much as they did. So if they don’t get a reaction to satisfy their own desire for retribution then they take it to another level until it happens.

Holding down dudes & taking turns dry humping em in purge masks is well beyond crossing the line, I would’ve been fighting dudes if that spontaneously happened after practice.

It just doesnt make sense

Fitz had ample opportunity to learn about the hazing, but I'm sure the assistant coaches didn't.

I don't know that Fitz is going to want to risk discovey

I agree. The University may not wish to either; that would be tough on the witnesses and make the Uinversity look bad too. It will end like most things do - with a settlement.
The University gave him an argument with the stupid agreed-upon suspension. That proved to me that NW was trying to get through this without firing Fitz.

Yeah it'll probably end up settled for less than his buyout. I do wonder if we will broadly see a spike in for cause firings as contracts get longer and more costly. I'm pretty sure KU fired Beatty for cause around something pretty weak and just used to to leverage him down on buyout
