Have met him more than a few times at various fundraisers, golf tourneys,etc...just a normal dude. Sucks at golf but otherwise good person. What I'll say though has nothing to do with Fitz. Now this story is in the hands of the PR world. Northwestern who has always tried to pass themselves off as academics first sports second.....tried a Friday afternoon news dump in the middle of summer with dead recruiting period coming up and now they look weak. The academia types up there look like they were ok with looking the other way. Locker rooms are different things. Not saying I agree or not they just are....but in this day and age some stuff you can over look and some stuff you can't. Right now though none of that matters. You have 2 student reporters that broke the story and now you countless national guys who went to Northwestern looking weak on turning the other cheek....all those ESPN Northwestern honks are scurrying to clean up their initial reaction. Just a shame. I like Fitz. I think he's a good football coach. My fear is he'll be done by tomorrow. Hire him as DC tomorrow night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be employed asap if he wants....if in fact what I don't think should happen happens. Shoot between the Welsh and Ryan family he could be on the Bears staff in no time. Haha. Really weird one here. From my experience with the Wilson stuff we had not everything makes it to the public no matter how many screenshots are sent.

How many deaths have we seen in fraternity hazing where guys drank touch and got alcohol poisoning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
