Well that is a very notable tweet by the younger Mr. Fitzgerald
I would imagine that Pat Fitzgerald WANTS Braun to be the coach for a variety of very logical reasons. When Fitz was fired, it was clear that every member of the coaching staff related to Fitz’s tenure at NU would be gone at the end of the season, with the possible exception of Braun and maybe Smith. Braun staying therefore serves to continue Fitz’s legacy, especially when his coaching tree is pretty barren. And Braun stays in touch with and is a friend of Fitz and his family. Hes said it’s because Fitz is the parent of someone in the program but let’s be real: Braun is working with Fitz for advice and mentorship.

The fact that members of Fitz’s family are supporting Braun becoming HC isn’t at all surprising.
 
I saw a Fitzgerald jersey on the field towards the end of the game while watching on tv. Was that Jack? Or is there an (unrelated) that i can’t remember?
 
Awesome to see all the tags from Freshmen as well as grad transfers who won’t even be here next year. I would say that’s a pretty big endorsement. And a sign that a lot of guys could leave if he’s not retained, unless there is a total home run hire and/or Braun was retained as DC under a legendary sort of mentor coach.
