Fitzgerald, who starred as a linebacker at Northwestern and led the team as its head coach for 17 seasons, was fired after disturbing details emerged about alleged hazing. “The coach is responsible for the culture of his team,” the school’s president said.
“The head coach is ultimately responsible for the culture of his team,” Northwestern President Michael Schill said in a memo he shared on why Fitzgerald was being let go. “The hazing we investigated was widespread and clearly not a secret within the program, providing Coach Fitzgerald with the opportunity to learn what was happening. Either way, the culture in Northwestern Football, while incredible in some ways, was broken in others.
“It’s done under this smoke and mirror of, ‘Oh, this is team bonding,’ but, no, this is sexual abuse,” the former player said in the report. A second player told the paper that he also saw the occurrences. “Fitz absolutely knew about hazing in this program,” he said. “Fitz absolutely failed by not intervening. Fitz knew, and he should have made it stop; and if he truly did not know, he should not be the head coach. Either way, he should not be the head coach, because he is not monitoring and protecting the safety and well-being of student-athletes.”
“This has never been about one former student-athlete and his motives; this is much bigger than that,” wrote Schill, a legal scholar who has been in his position since September after previously serving for seven years as the president of the University of Oregon.
