Northwestern President Michael Schill released a statement on Monday afternoon informing the community that Pat Fitzgerald would no longer be coaching Northwestern Football going forward. He said, “This afternoon, I informed Head Football Coach Pat Fitzgerald that he was being relieved of his duties effective immediately.”
Schill previously said he may have made a mistake in his prior punishment directed towards Fitzgerald.
Now, reports indicate that their baseball program may also be under hot water. News surfaced yesterday that coach Jim Foster has engaged in activity that has been described as “bullying and abusive”.
The university’s report indicated that it did not find enough corroborating evidence to support those allegations, according to Parkins, but the investigation did not interview players regarding the claims.
