Northwestern has fired coach Pat Fitzgerald amid a hazing scandal that called into question his leadership of the program and damaged the university’s reputation after it mishandled its response to the allegations.
That would be my guess, it’s way too late to do a traditional coaching search. But I’m not sure who in his staff will survive the firing and want to stay and be the interim.
Yeah the people with better resumes are probably looking for interviews outside Northwestern now. The interim will be someone green looking to build their resume.
