Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald in hot water
 

https://dailynorthwestern.com/2023/0...ch-suspension/

Upper class has been hazing lower class by forcing them to participate in homoerotic stuff. Coach allegedly knew and signaled for players to be hazed

School investigated it and president tried to bury it all with slaps on the wrist.

Former player snitched on them to the school paper and now a lifer is about to be canceled.

Does hazing help with recruiting? I wonder how fast word spreads that this stuff is happening before anyone puts the hammer down. I would think that coaches wouldn't even want rumors of hazing in their program.

Gay

I would say probably not but it was likely easy to bottle things up in a place like Northwestern because nobody cared.

Now people know and well sucks for them. This will probably crush what little success they had.

Personally, I don’t think signing up for NU football should mean getting dry humped by dudes in Purge masks.

Wish I played for northwestern

Bundle of sticks

This is kinda tame for hazing.

The dry humping thing is something that alot of you g guys do to each other as a joke...the naked snap though that's weird as hell.

Do you do naked car washes with other dudes?

Asking for a friend.

Ha no, I have 2 sons that are 23 and 20 though and frankly young dudes at times think odd things are funny.

Homos be doing homo stuff.

Bro, I dare you to let me suck your dick. I double dare you.

bundle of stickss

I don't get this. They connect a hose to a shower? And it's painful? Does connecting a hose to a shower turn it into a pressure washer or something?

Also car wash. Lol. That's so bizarre it's kind of funny.

****in weird creepy shit. Outaide of the naked part not a big deal but why be naked? Our frat made me ride a goat and hold a phone for 24 hrs. Thats about it

Probably because to a young athlete that was just the shit at high school it makes them feel extremely uncomfortable which is likely the entire point.

He hasn't been winning, and this was their way out now. If he was dropping 10 win seasons, they would ride out the bad press.

Northwestern is building a new stadium. They are going for broke and Fitzgerald hasn't been doing well in recent years.

He was there 17 years. Rare in this era.

I have a hard time imagining they managed to get the psi up there using the shower water, but if they did then yeah, that shit is incredibly painful.

His only win last year was against Frost LOL

Basically he went winless then.

Wait, this dude has been there for well over a decade, right? How long has this shit been going on?

He did get them to a 10 win season and was a 'culture' guy.

Had the easiest job in the world. Just don't do anything stupid.

Oops

He is a good coach for sure.

But Northwestern is moving beyond that bare minimum. They just built a state of the art indoor facility and are spending big money on a new stadium. I think his days were numbered even before this scandal came to light.

He had recently signed a 10 year extension. He was sec....

And he's gone

I’ve always thought hazing was stupid. So you had to endure it, they can too.

We all “bust balls” among our friends but that’s lighthearted shit. Hazing is being done by strangers to get into a clicky group. Stupid.

Billay waiting for Wisconsin Volleyball-type leaks of this situation

The last time Northwestern won a football game in the U.S., Vic Fangio was still the Broncos HC.

Just got home and saw this. Stunned.

Already rumors that NW has reached out to Matt Campbell of ISU and Brian Ferentz of Iowa.

Brian Ferentz!?!?!?

Can't see Ferentz for on and off the field reasons.

seems like a terrible time to hire a head football coach

Bill O brian available?

Season starts in a little over a month you're better off just rolling with the assistant head coach at this point. The Army coach would be a great fit there maybe Willie Fritz but if Tulane is good again this year he might get offered by a better program. Northwestern is harder to recruit at due to their academic standards

Why would Campbell leave for Northwestern lmao

To troll Rustshack

Oh PLEASE hire Brian Ferentz.

Eh, every conference team is going to lose to an SEC team so why even try

Don't think that's necessarily true. Ohio St has a chance if the new QB. Michigan is certainly there too.

Northwestern…you know you want Drinkwitz….he can recruit….

Come on….

IDK what the severity of the hazing was but a termination seems a bit harsh. A stern warning for it to stop and never happen again should have been enough. Just my .02.

Well.

'Allegedly' he was signaling to his older players to rub their dicks allover the freshmen.

Some of it has to be true because they did initially suspend him. I guess we'll eventually find out how much.

If all of it is accurate, yeah he should lose his job if he's advocating for young men to be sexually assaulted.

You shut up your mouth.

Monken needs to stay at Army. Unlike Nebraska, we have made bowl games in the last decade. :evil:

Is there any video of this?

This.


I need it for "research"

rub your dicks on freshies YZ double post on 2 on 2

Apparently there is way more stuff than is just being reported on TV.

Former players are saying things like "black players were told they had to have certain haircuts and act a certain way, black coaches were told they would also follow this or not be employed"

"A former Mexican player said he was forced to have cinco de mayo shaved into the back of his hair and had coaches say to him you and your family must be good at cleaning houses"

wrong on so many levels.

I heard they might hire Jerry Sandusky.

LMAO What in the actual ****? Excerpt from the QBs lawsuit against the university.

"It details various practices of a sexual nature, from “running” to the “Shrek Squad” to the “Shrek Clap,” naked rope swings, naked pull ups, naked center and quarterback exchanges, naked one-on-one drills, naked pass-rush drills, the “car wash,” the “Kenosha rap battle,” and more."

Wow. There's some actually ****ed shit starting around page 20

The **** is this?

Sounds like the coaches should be hit with conspiracy charges. Hell, I wonder if they can RICO sexual assault.

If I was an assistant coach I would be hitting up my lawyer right now and seeing if I can turn states evidence for a plea.

At Northwestern everything involves getting your dick out and rubbing it on a freshman.

A buddy of mine coaches High School baseball here. Players are whacking each other off. Even oral. The kids claim, "as long as you have a girlfriend, it's not gay"

What. The. ****.

Just another day in downtown Saint Joe.

What????

The fact that he so nonchalantly threw that out there is a bit weird.

Did your friend go to Northwestern by chance?
