Northwestern is in the middle of a dogfight against Nebraska on the road today. In the heat of the game, Wildcat head coach Pat Fitzgerald laid into safety Godwin Igwebuike for presumably blowing an assignment.

In doing so, Fitzgerald got caught by a TV microphone cursing at Igwebuike. Here’s some footage.

We’re sure Fitzgerald is one of dozens of coaches using similar language on the sideline today. He just had the misfortune of being caught doing so. It will be interesting to see if there are any repercussions from this.
