Pat Fitzgerald is annoyed it has taken him 14 years to earn 99 career wins as Northwestern’s head coach.
“As a competitor, I look more at the other number, and it really ticks me off that there’s probably about 50 games that we should have won but we didn’t, so that number is way too large,” he said.
With a record of 99-79, the winningest coach in Northwestern history prepares to face Maryland after a turbulent offseason that has challenged even the most steady and veteran coaches. At 57-58 in the Big Ten, Fitz will try to even up his conference record as he looks to enter triple digits in the win column.
