Is the thought he could coach Northwestern successfully but nowhere else?
Even as a DC coordinator somewhere?
I’m not mentioning this for any particular job, just in general.

I think he just settled his lawsuit against Northwestern recently, so that's probably why programs have left him alone.

I could see somebody reaching out to him for a DC role soon.

What stupid idea? OP asked a valid question and literally said it wasn't in regards to any particular job.

Because no one wants a closeted gay running their football program. Fitz is a weird cat that’s into some kinky gay shite. Stay away from my program, fruitcake!

This is why its stupid. Hes not going to be considered by anyone.

On July 7, 2023, Fitzgerald was suspended for two weeks by university president Michael H. Schill after an independent investigation conducted by law firm Arent Fox Schiff confirmed allegations made by a player in November 2022 that hazing, including assaults by varsity players, occurred while Fitzgerald was aware and made hand gestures that indicated that freshman players should be physically and sexually assaulted for poor performance.

The sexual assaults included acts such as being dry-humped by groups of upperclassmen, being forced to enter team showers through parallel lines of spinning naked teammates to resemble a carwash, and being compelled to perform a center-to-quarterback snapping of a football while naked. The accuser said that he believed that "Everyone would just be looking at each other and be like 'bro, Fitz knows about this,' because you wouldn't take that action otherwise".

Investigator Maggie Hickey, who was formerly an Illinois inspector general, stated that the Wildcat players accusations were "largely supported by evidence." On July 10, 2023, Fitzgerald was fired amid the allegations.

No shite Sherlock. Everyone knows the story

That's why I already said programs have stayed away. But now that the lawsuit is settled, and Northwestern admitted Fitzgerald had no knowledge of what happened, somebody might reach out for a DC role.

We won’t take him, but someone is going to bring him in as a HC or DC and he will probably be successful again. What he accomplished at Northwestern was incredible.

Might as well hire a tuba player from the band. Talk about low hanging fruit.

So you are saying that he will be the next coach at Texas A&M?

Which absolutely doesn’t absolve him of a shite. Oh you didn’t know terrible things were happening in your locker room, sounds like you got a handle on things
