Grifters have been a thing recently. We seem particularly vulnerable to their enchantments. I believe we are catching on, finally.
JON Gone
- Thread starter Bwm57

I do not care who NU hires for DC because NU cannot win scoring less than 20 points per game.

Fitz needs not only to fix the defense, but also to fix the offense, which has been derelict for many years.
WDALYIC may be the stupidest of all stupid internet abbreviations and that’s saying something. What was it Forrest Gump said? Stupid is as…
I learned it in a book about texting when I was in middle school. Haven’t used it in a while so I decided to dust it off.
I am not suggesting he was a great coach, but the defense was playing “light years” better than the offense. The receivers were terrible, but they haven’t had a recruited a competitive QB in almost 10 years (Thorson) and he wasn’t great. Why wasn’t that addressed? Afierce over 30 years if session tickets, I am done.
Nobody should pay attention to fan ramblings on the internet. Anybody associated with a program would go crazy reading the stuff posted on fan sites like this.
Look at Ohio State fans calling for Ryan Day's head for losing to Michigan a 2nd time.
They're calling for the head of a 45-5 coach who's 21-0 in his last 21 games other than the Michigan game. 5 losses in 4 seasons and people are calling for him to be on the hot seat. It's completely insane.
Sometimes fans really are just (loony) fanatics.
Firing people is difficult in any business even one where the money is top 1% for several staffers. Coaching is difficult in terms of moving the family around a lot and all of that.
All that said, it's okay to point out that perhaps some coaches aren't meant to be coordinators or coaching in their capacities at this level. JON may make sense as an assistant in some capacity on a team, but certainly not as DC.
This is a big business. Northwestern's AD runs a $100+ million budget and will have raised around $1.2 billion for facilities over a decade; this is not a mom and pop shop like it was in the 80s or 90s where finding $1 million would have been tough. The big money alums want to win big in every sport and are putting up the money to do so.
So they're being paid fairly to perform in a job with a harsh spotlight if they're not performing well. That's the nature of the beast when random strangers discuss your job performance on the web like fans of sports teams do.
I agree with your sentiment, but the human nature of CFB fans can be pretty nasty, and face it downright crazy, but face it, it comes with having a high profile job. JON should go to a FCS school or a lesser FSB conference school. Not sure what Fitz was thinking with the hire in the first place. The longer this whacked out drama draws out, the more I wonder about Fitz. Why would he actually want to hold back his OC' s system? Why does he think ball control is the key to success, as the 3 yards and a cloud of dust went out of style when Woody got canned? You want to bring in a top QB? You better have a pass oriented offense, with a nice complimentary ground game of course.
