Northwestern fires Pat Fitzgerald after hazing inquiry

[Newhouser]

Fitzgerald has 8 years and over 40 million left on his deal. Lawyers are going to get rich.

 

[Scooch]

Another Leader of Men (tm) disgraced.

Someday people will get that these guys are all amoral lunatics.

 

[UpstateSM]

He’s right

 

[OttoinGrotto]

He’s right

So clean it up and shut this crap down across the board.

 

[dasher]

He’s right

Not here. Our new sales pitch, come to Syracuse. We aren't bat crap crazy

 

[cusefan88]

Fitz is gone by August.

I wasn't even close. Didn't make it to mid-July.

Northwestern sold their souls to get out of the basement in all sports. It doesn't suit them, and they are returning to their rightful place.

If he supported the hazing that was going on, then he is not the man that Danny thinks he is. If he didn't know or support that activity, then he should be exonerated. But, evidence seems to show that he was well aware of what was going on. Doesn't make him a completely bad person, but it makes him a meathead football guy in a world of less meatheaded people.

 

[djcon57]

I'm shocked known contrarian, the multiple time fired Danny Kanell feels this way.

 

[UpstateSM]

Haha. He is actually right.

 

[UpstateSM]

Lmaoooo

 

[OmahaCuse]

I have a home in Evanston and this is a joke

Meaning he was railroaded?

 

[sutomcat]

What the hell is happening at Northwestern?

They are just doing B1G things. Just like PSU, RU and MSU. Jake Crouthamel said a long time ago he thought Penn State was destined for the B1G. He was right.

They fit the B1G culture perfectly.

 

[rrlbees]

Now let’s see some player arrests.

 

[tep624]

Oh I’m not saying it didn’t happen at all. I’m saying nobody else is coming forward to say it bothered them.

If no one else was bothered by sexualized hazing whether performing the hazing or receiving it, then that makes me even more concerned about their program in general.

 

[NYCCuse826]

I get it in the professional world but a group of college athletes not so much, don’t think that matters much at all. Cutting your hair short when your 19 years old when you would rather have it longer doesn’t teach a damn thing. Just dated meathead nonsense

It's not just the professional world. Growing up in my neighborhood, your appearance was the difference between having a tough walk home or having no issues.

 

[Orangello]

or just go all in James Franklin:

- Bend over and take your PED's boys
- check your guns with the valet concierege parking
- please use the Suriname diplomatic passports we issued to each of you if stopped by the cops
- shower at home

 

[Jake]

Huggins is looking for a job…

 

[MSOrange]

 

[djorange1989]

A guy who was not on staff when the hazing occurred. Smart move. I saw an article mentioning David Shaw, Paul Chryst and Ken Niumatalolo as three guys they could go after assuming this interim guy is just a placeholder for a week or two

 

[djorange1989]

Huggins is looking for a job…

He has one, he never resigned at WVU. His wife did it. C’mon Jake, get with the program

 

[Orangefan1]

Can we get our quarterback to come back now?

 

[djorange1989]

Can we get our quarterback to come back now?

I don’t know if Dino and Beck would take him back, TBH, the kid jumped ship pretty fast, another Big 10 school offers he will bail again

It's not just the professional world. Growing up in my neighborhood, your appearance was the difference between having a tough walk home or having no issues.

I hope you didn’t have kids from different cultures walking home by themselves in your neighborhood. And if there was, hopefully they cleaned themselves up to fit in so they didn’t have a tough walk home. …..
