Pat Fitz

Does anyone think Fitz will coach again? I've wondered if he might replace Phil Parker if he retires while his son is still on the team.

His son is a walk on. I've often thought that he's a walk on beause he does not need a schollly as his dad is quite well to do. No need to tie up a scholly there.

He's only 50 years old. He was an excellent coach during his time at NW. The hazing allegations, while disgusting, did not implicate him directly. In fact, they specifically found he did not know about the hazing, but was fired as the captain of the ship. I would not think that would make him too toxic. That said, I could see being fired from your dream job under those circumstances as chilling his desire to coach again. If he is smart and invested, he should be sitting on 50 million. So, he doesn't have to work.

I don't see Parker retiring in the next three years.

Honestly, had not thought of this guy in a couple years.

Not sure what Fitz wants to do. Despite the hazing scandal and how it ended at NW. He is highly respected in the football world, and jobs in the NFL and college are there if he wants them.
