I met Kevin Wilson once and, while not overly friendly, he was very accomadating and tolerant of us fans. Like Knight, I imagine it's the crowd he's around and the situation.
I like no-bullshit people like that and usually have no problem with them.

- Thread starter Indianaftw
- Start date

The relationship between Wilson and Glass had to have been really awkward. Wilson always referred to him as “Mr. Glass” in interviews, which is formal and professional, but many of these coach/AD relationships are so very close that they are on a first name basis.
Faculty would prob like them to drop football ala U of Chicago years ago
There are some suites in specific dorms that are/were used for visitors/new hires as temp housing. Doesn’t make a lot of sense to me considering the parking etc. no clue if they are still used that way.
KW got off to a rough start on campus and on the radio.
Did Ryan tell YOU these things DIRECTLY? Or are you speculating based off of media reports and other hearsay?
Asking for a coaching friend.
Image how awkward it was after the extension as Fred had to manage him out
None of the above . . . And Court had to Google “Pat Ryan” to learn who he is. Stunning, huh?

Firing KW, like firing RMK, was a huge mistake for IU.
I thought he got off to a great start!!! His first interview he put some tool (was it Benner? Can't remember) in his place when questioned why IU doesn't win the Bucket Game. KW pointed out very colorfully that IU had just won the Bucket.
I liked the Way he infused winning habits. He matter of factly called out the laziness of the quarterback room, sitting in the lounge couches watching TV. I liked his reply when asked what kind of offense IU would run. "We are gonna find out what the line can block, and run that".
What were those Oklahoma drills he ran first off? It was posted and the IU players were awful at them!!
He taught IU what a winning program has to do.
Wilson didn't win any bowl games though as you forgot to add his bowl record.
NU just fired the Baseball coach for "abusive behavior"
Two FB recruits just decommited.

Northwestern can easily raise all the money they want.
The question is does the administration want to raise the
cash? I remember when a President of Northwestern
said, he did not care if the football team ever won another
game.
Houston we have a problem
Somehow, that's exactly where we've landed, as the school fired baseball coach Jim Foster Thursday afternoon. Reports stated that the coach engaged in bullying and abusive behavior, made inappropriate comments about a female staffer and was despised, if not hated, by almost every Northwestern baseball player this past season.

That's almost the exact same quote from the University of Chicago President when they left the BT sports arena.
Faculty call for systemic change within athletics department
Six Weinberg profs are urging reform to better ensure safety within the NU’s athletics department after former members of Northwestern’s football team came forward with allegations of hazing, including coerced sexual acts. In 2021, they spoke out against the appointment of Mike Polisky — one...

Moderator removed my calling bayer as a fo - ol. This site is becoming a joke by the mediator. I guess we can't say things about posters now.
They better reconsider who was responsible and I doubt it was coach Fitz."The former player . . . told The Daily Northwestern that sexualized hazing activities took place in the team's locker room. One common practice, called "running," involved a younger player being restrained while eight to 10 older players engaged in a sexualized act in the locker room. Versions of "running" took place during certain portions of the year, including Thanksgiving and Christmas.
"It's a shocking experience as a freshman to see your fellow freshman teammates get ran, but then you see everybody bystanding in the locker room," the former player told The Daily Northwestern. "It's just a really abrasive and barbaric culture that has permeated throughout that program for years on end now."
I'd lay odds at 50-50 that Fitz is NW's HC on opening day.
Northwestern to reconsider Fitzgerald's discipline
Northwestern, in a letter sent late Saturday night, announced it will reconsider penalties for longtime Wildcats coach Pat Fitzgerald after new details emerged surrounding allegations of hazing in the Big Ten school's football program.www.espn.com
They need to find you really is doing the hazing and allowing it but Coach Fitzgerld didn't know and some other coach that is doing it. I wouldn't let all the professors do it as they don't know who is causing it. I would bet one of the assistants are doing it - who has been there for years. I bet the players never went to coach Fitz so it was someone else. He should be brought back and find who is doing it. They just assumed it was coach Fitz and I doubt he was for it.6 has become over 260 and growing.

He was robbed in the Bronx in 2015.
The kick was good! Fvck parallax!
The players never went to Fitz so unless it was him then I have no problem with him being fired but if not then I can't see him being fired. If players told Fitz about the abuse then I agree with the buck stops here, otherwise make the changes NW is but keep Fitz. If no one tells you what is happening out of your sight then it is difficult to know and make changes.
If this activity predated Fritz’s elevation to HC (and reports say it did) there are a helluva lot if people, including three AD’s and three Presidents and lot of trustees who sure did not have their ears to the ground. There are lots of asses being covered when every faculty member, every assistant coach, every staff member and every player who was ever involved or knew anything about the abuses remains in place and Pat Fitzgerald falls on his sword for the whole bunch!
I wonder if this escalated from truly fun and games stuff to this ugly stuff over time.
Learned behavior. It happened to the upper-classmen and they're determined to do the same, or worse, to the next incoming group.
Until it becomes tradition
Same thing happens at the service academies.
Except boot camp is preparing for life and death.
"Umm, excuse me drill sergeant - is that really the best decision?"
Yeah, it may be different in the Navy. Probably is.....
