I dunno. The collapse of the program is just so spectacular, I am starting to question his remaining commitment. Is there anything left? He’s been given everything he’s asked for as NUs all time winningest coach.
The lakefront facility among the top 10 in all of sports.
A 5-6m per year 10 year contract.
Complete and unquestioned autonomy.
Now a commitment for an 800m stadium.
At this point has it all left him without the drive and passion to take advantage of all of that to build it to the next level, or even maintain the level he’d already reached? Has the changing of the game, the focus on NIL, sapped his love of the game just enough to undermine what got him to where he is now?
I’ve really started to wonder.
At this point the job needed to rebuild it seems massive.
I would not be surprised to hear on November 27 that Fitz has resigned. Really. He’s would be snapped up by any of the networks in days as part of a studio team, not that he needs the money. But it would explain so much, and absolve him of having to fire coaches he considers close friends and family.
I dunno. I can really see it happening.
