2-3, 0-2 in big ten play. 2 wins against Toledo and Eastern Michigan.

Got destroyed by Wisconsin today.

Ball knowers like me said Pat Fitzgerald was a total shite hire. Meanwhile, Northwestern has flourished without that meat head.

Did you get a lot of pushback on this?
Weird to take a victory lap over something like this

You calling yourself a ball knower immediately let's me know you're a fake a-hole

It’s a schtick.

Not familiar with OP but he seems real insufferable just based on this thread

They were predicted to finish 16th of 18 in the B1G

Vegas had them with ~4 wins

The roster he took over was genuinely terrible and while they’ve recently gotten huge booster financial commitments that will allow them to be competitive again, it wasn’t available to him building his first team. He didn’t walk into Baton Rouge with a blank check. If the remaining roster is terrible and you can’t afford good players in your big transfer class, good year 1 results aren’t possible. This is basic stuff

Way more a sign of someone who doesn’t know ball / a retard to put it on the coach

They've basically hovered around .500 with Braun.

Let's not act like Michigan State was a good situation to walk into either. Tucker and Smith left a mess that wasn't going to be cleaned up quickly. At least not with what they had been spending on NIL.

Fitz may not work out there, but you'd have to be an idiot to judge him after 5 games.

Flourished relative to what northwestern was at the end of the Fitzgerald era where they went 1-8 in the big ten 3 of his last 4 years.

Nah. You can call it now. Bad coach.

Announcement and funds available for disbursement are not the same thing. The $100m in Spartan Ventures that’s their main NIL/ commercial vehicle wasn’t even formed until July this year. Portal closed January 12

They didn’t end up with the 60th best portal class with money available to spend. I feel that should go without saying

Folks here judge coaches by the first quarter, and some do it by the first drive of a game.

Yeah, when the NIL money gets flowing out, I think they will be OK.
