Fitz comes in at #16. Must be some recency bias with the Pinstripe bowl win, how else could he jump from 34 the previous year to 16 with a 7-6 2016 record including a loss to FCS ISU?
Pat Fitzgerald (34): Fitzgerald is similar to Cutcliffe in that we sometimes overlook what they've accomplished a little too easily. Northwestern wasn't exactly a Big Ten powerhouse before he showed up, and while there seems to be a ceiling to how far the Wildcats can realistically go, there's no question Fitzgerald helped raise that ceiling quite a bit.
