SAN DIEGO — Soaking wet on the field at SDCCU Stadium, Pat Fitzgerald sent a 12-word message to the entire country.
No 12 words may have ever echoed louder at Northwestern.
“Hashtag Go ‘Cats, man. I’m not going anywhere. This is home forever.”
It was a resounding statement from Fitz, who had been linked as a candidate to be the Packers next head coach (and has now made spoken hashtags a staple of his postgame repertoire). There probably wasn’t much of a doubt all along, but more money, a legendary franchise and Aaron Rodgers loomed large.
