NW got its coach
- Thread starter HBK4life_rivals100467
- Start date
non-zero chance they finish the year with a better record than Rhule despite taking over a 1-11 team like 3 weeks before their opener
good stuff

Who knew that not allowing your players to wave their dicks in each other’s faces, would lead to such team cohesion.
On the contrary, some would argue that waving dicks in each others‘ faces can lead to immense cohesion, by every definition of the word.
I understand the rationale for keeping him. On the other hand, this hire has a little bit of a Zach Arnett feel to me of a hire based upon one good season coming off tumult.
Teams almost always regret hiring the interim. But I just don't see how they could find a better candidate.
The guy can coach and they’ll probably end up on the hook for Fitz’s contract. Can there be any downside to giving this guy a shot? It’s not like he has any chance of taking them to any depths that Fitz didn’t.
which one? they've played 4
their top 2 guys have been sacked 40x this year
our records would probably be the same if we switched QB rooms
probably would be much better if we switched OCs, though
But it's a lesson to remember that the next great coaches aren't going to come up in one of those 5 second research/Google searches. This guy hadn't coached in the P5 before (I think) and he's never been a head coach. Just a DC from NDSU. But if you're good, you're good. The trouble is most of the big time fan bases expect a wow hire and just won't be satisfied with an unknown. Glad this guy was able to get his foot in the door.
Will be looked at as one of the best hires by a big ten team of the current era. He will of course be plucked away by a bigger school, likely a blue blood.
He’s done a phenomenal job and I predict he will continue to do so.

A lot of people on here dragging Northwestern for the hire but I see a guy getting paid over 8 million less than our coach and he is currently got the same results as our team. He also took over the reins with only 3 weeks before the season. More than likely Northwestern will be bowl eligible this week. I can't even say for sure we make a bowl outright. We may get the 5-7 exemption but that is no guarantee.
Nor should they. With this super conference ********, the Northwestern's of the world will basically be little more than stage props.
Maybe, don't know how he'll do longterm. Northwestern was an up and done program under Fitzgerald. They'd make the Big Ten championship then go 3-9 then make the big ten championship than go 3-9. I'll wait until this guy has a little more success before acting like he wis some coaching savant.
I agree. However it isn't like the top coaches are banging on Northwestern's door for the opportunity to coach there. It is a stepping stone job.
