My Thoughts On Pat Fitzgerald Being Fired And The Aftermath | Northwestern Football 2023

After numerous hazing allegations supported by eyewitness accounts of former players and evidence provided by an independent investigation, Northwestern head coach Pat Fitzgerald has been fired, the hazing scandal that has consumed Northwestern Football is painful, and hopefully, the players who perpetrated such acts have legal action taken against them. The university handled this very poorly, as they initially tried to cover up the scandal, but because of investigative reporting by their own school of journalism, eventually swung the other way and fired Fitzgerald abruptly. Fitzgerald is now taking legal action against the school, while defensive coordinator and safeties coach David Braun is expected to be the interim head coach. Regarding my thoughts on the 2023 season and the distant future, I think the Wildcats are going to be a disaster. This roster has players that I love, such as wide receiver AJ Henning and offensive tackle Josh Priebe, along with solid players like quarterback Ben Bryant. However, the roster itself is in shambles from poor recruiting, poor development, and perhaps even the hazing that occurred over several seasons. Northwestern football needs to make a splash hire if they want to remain relevant in the football world. Pat Fitzgerald was the identity of the program and with him being torn away, the loyalty and identity surrounding the program might give way. Only time will tell where Northwestern football goes, but the future looks far from bright. Leave a like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell for more of the best College Football content!
