It's not the bottom until Fitz cleans house. Needs to send a statement that this is not acceptable. JON needs to go and we better be hitting the portal for just about every starting position.

Step right up and get yerself some of old Doc O’Neil’s magic elixir!
No matter what ails yer offense, whether the pass or run, old Doc O’Neil can heal!

If you chart a graph of the entire history of NU football in which the highest point was taking the lead in the 1996 Rose Bowl (we can argue if NU has ever surpassed that peak - maybe as recently as leading OSU in last year's Big Ten Championship) and the low point is somewhere in the late 1970s/early 1980s, I would say there is a still a lot farther down NU can go.
But where we are now? Sucks.
Wasn't there a thread on the Rock where he denied saying never again?
Oh he said it, alright. I might as well go finish putting up the Christmas lights outside. Maybe things will improve and I’ll fall off the ladder.
Fitz is in a very, very tricky spot. Fire one coordinator? Both? Lonely at the top, huh? $5M+ per year - you don't make that kind of money shaking hands and kissing babies.
We are unwatchable. Honestly. I’m very glad to have not paid for one ticket this year!!! Just a bad football team. I’m switching channels…
Yea and he gave Mike Fitz shot for bringing it up. Just a bitch move by Fitz.
Leota making plays for Auburn against the 3rd ranked team in the country. But hey remember how fitz said he couldn’t stop the run!!!
Time to go 100% Wildcat. Put the ball in Hull’s hands, or St. Clair.
I would like to see Hunter play. Let him finish his career handing the ball off so that Duke isn't the last of it.
Yes but this may be the fastest/farthest fall, from 4 bowl wins in 5 years, 2 division titles and one of the top D in the country to last in the conference and almost worst in the country on O and D.
I'm unable to watch the game in the UK (BTN not available) but can listen to WGN, I guess I'm fortunate not to be able to watch this sh*t.
28-0 now. This is brutal to watch. Our offense and defense have quit. Changes must be made in the off-season. To be blown out by the Illini is not acceptable. So many BT games where we were not competitive, and the game over by the half. Painful to witness the slide of this program.
I know the Dark Ages have been invoked inappropriately in recent years. But this actually does feel like the Dark Ages. This is shockingly bad. It is obvious that the team has completely checked out. A complete reboot is necessary next year. A major reshuffling of the staff and a major move to the portal.
Malik Washington has great heart!
I’ve heard these hyperbolic statements all year, and I’m sick of hearing them.
(Because it’s sounding more plausible every week)
Best receivers we've had in years, which is the only reason the 2021 numbers were slightly better than 2019. The QB room has been just as bad.
yeah - can't mention the two division titles without acknowledging the pair of 3-9 seasons happening in the same time frame. as i've mentioned previously...we had a pretty good time making fun of the likes of ron zook who also ran hot and cold...only he won a game at Wrigley, beat Ohio State and made it to Pasadena.
