BREAKING: Pat Fitzgerald has been fired as the head football coach of Northwestern University, the university said.
Northwestern football players spoke out on hazing allegations in the program led by coach Pat Fitzgerald.Northwestern president Michael Schil released a statement Monday afternoon, saying, "This afternoon, I informed Head Football Coach Pat Fitzgerald that he was being relieved of his duties effective immediately."Fitzgerald was suspended for two weeks without pay, as disturbing allegations continue to emerge about hazing within the football program.
The hazing was well-known by many in the program, Schil said, though he allowed there was no "credible evidence" that Fitzgerald himself knew. According to the newspaper, the former player reported his claims to the school in late 2022, and he spoke to investigators during the university-commissioned probe, whose findings were released Friday.
But he said that dream quickly turned sour. As one of the only Latinos on the football team at the time, Ramon said he became the target of abuse by players and coaches. "A car was is having your genitals rubbing up on someone else's genitals," Ramon said. "And I never felt like anybody could leave the shower when that was happening. Nobody told us we were forced to sit there, but we were also not allowed to not go through the car wash."
