He's obviously going to be undermining the existing coaching staff and working behind the scenes to get the job himself from the second he walks in the door.

Northwestern is such a rudderless mess that you wonder if he might actually pull it off.

It's not ideal, but I don't think it would be a dagger in the heart of the program ;)

Honestly, they really should just make him the head coach and demote the current/ interim? Coach.
I don’t know any background or baggage, but if he’s willing to step in the door, make him the de facto sheriff

Given their current situation, talking about wanting to be a "model" for others is embarrassing, out-of-touch, and arrogant. Shut your mouth, focus on getting your house in order, and spare us from your incessant, annoying, and totally unmerited boasting.

Is Northwestern paying her? Another in house situation?

Shouldn’t the first independent review address those issues if it was done correctly

Hiring a name like Lynch brings some credibility. Not sure if she specializes in this type of work

If you want to eliminate the culture issue within a dumpster fire of an athletic department that NW has you need a clean slate from the AD down to the sports affected. No one should be retained from the previous coaching staff unless you know they were clean. You should also look at your current roster. How many of those players were part of the hazing. You can’t just paint over rust

It does not matter what processes you have in place if they exist on paper only. NW should forget about this season and fix their internal issues. With the transfer portal a rebuild is not what it use to be

The suspended Fitzergald for 2 weeks originally, so I'm guessing the first review was a lot of nothing.

No, we want that win

Loretta Lynch. She's bound to help. Not. PR hire except everyone knows she's clueless.
I thought they said Loretta Lynn! Probably the same output, although Lynch prolly can't sing.

Agree that you can't paint over rust, but if your car has rust, you don't have to throw it away and buy a new one.

The problem is that they are now in litigation, so anything they do will be subject to additional scrutiny. They really screwed this up with their absurd two week suspension.

Northwestern lost another recruit to Oklahoma, and transferred a safety to OSU and a CB to UCLA today. 247 has them clocking in at the 2nd lowest P5 ranking for 2024 ahead of just K-State. Looks like we might be able to extend this win streak for a few more years minimum.

How about we just never lose to them again, at least in my lifetime? I would be good with that.

I predicted last year Bret would never lose to them. Of course, I didn’t expect this much help from NW. But thank you, you arrogant pr@&ks!
