A friend of mine after last season asked me over text if Pat Fitzgerald was going to get fired after a dismal 1-11 season? I replied that was a good question, Northwestern's performance on the field the last 2 seasons have been terrible but he is a Northwestern Football legend and there aren't too many it that category. Once they announced the plans for the new stadium, I was certain he would keep his job.
Then the hazing suspension and firing happened and Pat Fitzgerald was fired on Monday afternoon. In my mind, the President didn't have any choice and should've done it on Friday when he levied the "summer vacation suspension".
