Northwestern football fans and Evanston, IL locals react to the firing of Pat Fitzgerald amid a hazing investigation.Northwestern University fired longtime head football coach Pat Fitzgerald, the school announced Monday. The move comes after allegations of hazing within the Wildcats football program.
"The decision comes after a difficult and complex evaluation of my original discipline decision imposed last week on Coach Fitzgerald for his failure to know and prevent significant hazing in the football program," Schill said. Schill said he discussed the situation with Fitzgerald, university leaders, and current and former students in the last few days. People sent phone messages and emails, too.
"The hazing included forced participation, nudity and sexualized acts of a degrading nature, in clear violation of Northwestern policies and values," Schill wrote. "I am grateful that - to my knowledge - no student suffered physical injury as a result of these behaviors."
