Both Nebraska football and the Big Ten are innocent bystanders in the damage that Northwestern has wrought dealing with coaching scandals.
Pat Fitzgerald is gone. Jim Foster is gone. Northwestern had to fire two coaches in the span of 72 hours. And they couldn’t have handled it worse.
When I wrote my pieces talking about how Northwestern football’s head coach needed to be fired, some people asked what it had to do with Nebraska football. Of course, anyone who really wondered what sort of effect the way the Wildcats handled things would have on the Huskers wasn’t really looking at the big picture.
