Love for Fitz is the one thing everyone in the B1G can agree on.


How is he still there?

I've always loved Fitz and thought he was an incredible coach. Everyone seems to feel the same way. How hasn't he gotten a bigger job? Do they not feel he would translate outside of Northwestern? Recruiting concerns?

He is a Northwestern Alum. He played on their 1996 Rosebowl team.

His name was mentioned briefly for Michigan and Penn State jobs before, but he's a local guy from Orland Park. He's really driven the branding of NU as "Chicago's Big Ten Team" and understands what it takes for the program to be competitive within the academic constraints. Fitz could have this job for life if he wants.
