CFB Media Reacts to Northwestern Reportedly Firing Pat Fitzgerald Amid Hazing Allegations
Northwestern and head football coach Pat Fitzgerald reportedly parted ways on Monday amid the ongoing hazing allegations surrounding the program.
The university initially handed Fitzgerald a two-week unpaid suspension after a university-commissioned investigation into the allegations made against the football program. One day after the suspension was announced, Northwestern president Michael Schill admitted he “may have erred in weighing the appropriate sanction” for the university’s head football coach.
On Monday, after three former players came forth with allegations of racism within the football program, the university parted ways with Fitzgerald, who had been the Wildcats’ head coach since 2006.
The college football world had plenty of reactions to Northwestern’s decision to fire Fitzgerald, with various media members chiming in on the situation.
