would be kind of cool for him and the fanbase


Pat Fitzgerald’ run didn’t end amazingly but I’m sure most Norrthwestern fans look fondly on his tenure.

Too wholesome for today's college game...


For a goofy has he can be, he is a fiery competitor. He was never afraid to mix it up with players on the field, and I suspect he would be just as fiery as a HC...in all aspects.

He will energize the donor base at a school that doesn't have overly ambitious expectations of success. If he can get NC State in the mix at the top of the ACC and an intermittent participant in a 24 team CFP, NC State fans would be very happy.

Being a head coach is a hell of a lot more than exciting the donors and fans.Who will want to work for him,can he handle the every day duties of a college coach.Will he be able to recruit and have a ability to manage the portal and NIL,does he have good connections in the college world.There are way to many ifs to hire this cat.

His HS squad lost in the first rd of the playoffs tonight. Can not imagine loving a former player enough to think it's a good idea to hire him as head coach after a 6-5 high school season.

Dumb post. He had to completely revamp his offense after his 4* QB son got hurt on the 2nd play of the season. It was actually a pretty good coaching job to finish the season where he did.

Also, this has been in the works since mid season. They knew he was coming when they fired the last guy.

Also, the hate and bitterness towards this is pathetic. An NFL HOF QB gets to coach at his old school and coach his 4* kid to boot. It's a Disney movie type scenario and I hope and pray it works out. Rivers is a good dude who's never been in trouble, doesn't whore around on his family and has ALWAYS been true to his roots.

He will energize their fans base and donors like never before. Also, Rivers has forgotten more football than Deion knows. He also won't show up with the attitude that his two boys are the end all be all and automatically alienate half the team on the first day.

He will expect more out of his own kid than the other players because of his own work ethic. You guys need to stop hating on a dude getting to live his dream.

ESPECIALLY those of you with a $100M 3 loss team.
