Explain. I’m not necessarily disagreeing, just l curious with your take.I don't think NU would have a football program anymore if it wasn't for Dennis Green. He's the father of modern-day Northwestern football.

In the future, post-Fitz, Fitz'll be known as the modern day "Father" of the program more permanently and the others as a predecessor step up. Of course, hopefully that day is a couple decades away.

I kind of think of Barnett as mom's third ex-husband who we all sorta liked...but he wasn't here long enough for any of us to call him "dad."
