Northwestern has fired football coach Pat Fitzgerald, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel and Adam Rittenberg on Monday.
Fitzgerald's firing comes in the wake of a two-week unpaid suspension that was announced by the school on Friday, following a university-commissioned investigation into hazing allegations within the program that were made by an anonymous whistleblower.
A day after announcing Fitzgerald's suspension, the school appeared to reverse course Saturday night, with university president Michael Schill saying in a letter sent to the Northwestern community that he "may have erred in weighing the appropriate sanction" for Fitzgerald after new details emerged surrounding the hazing allegations.
