Fitz Love

More kudos for old Fitz (from the Plain Dealer via the Trib):

Who’s the most in-demand Big Ten football coach? It’s Northwestern’s Pat Fitzgerald, according to one poll.
The question posed to college football media members by Cleveland.com went like this: Which Big Ten coach would you hire if you were an athletic director?

Half of the league’s coaches received at least one vote, but none got more support than Northwestern’s Pat Fitzgerald. He received 14 of the 33 nods.

Here are the results:

14 votes: Fitzgerald

9 votes: Scott Frost, Nebraska

4 votes: Jeff Brohm, Purdue

2 votes: James Franklin, Penn State

2 votes: Jim Harbaugh, Michigan

1 votes: Ryan Day, Ohio State

1 votes: Mark Dantonio, Michigan State

Fitzgerald, who guided his team to a Big Ten West title last season, is the second-longest tenured coach in the league. He took over for Randy Walker in 2006. Kirk Ferentz’s tenure at Iowa began in 1999.

This absolutely amazes me. Fitz is beating Harbaugh, Frost, and Brohm? And easily? Wow. I would've never expected that.

Frost and Brohm are the hot, new flavor of the month and ol' veteran Fitz still crushes them.

I am surprised Ferentz did not get even one vote.

I am surprised Ferentz did not get even one vote.

... and Hairballs actually got two votes.
