Things have been rotten since Dublin, but Northwestern shouldn't think about replacing Fitzgerald. McGrawDHSports
Thanks to Iowa's loss on Friday, there's a chance the Land of Lincoln trophy will be handed to the state's third Big Ten West champ of the last five years.
Sure, Gary Barnett pulled off the original miracle, but Fitzgerald accomplished something no one thought was possible -- winning with some consistency on the North Shore, even if the last two years have been bad. Losing defensive coordinator Mike Hankwitz to retirement after the 2020 season feels like a significant blow. Hankwitz had 50 years of college coaching experience. His replacement, Jim O'Neil, spent 10 years in the NFL before joining the Wildcats.
A bigger issue is why Northwestern's run of solid quarterbacks came to a sudden stop. Some NU fans cheered when Fitzgerald fired longtime offensive coordinator Mick McCall after the 2019 season, saying his play-calling had gotten conservative and predictable. The supporting cast is actually pretty good. RB Evan Hull is third in the Big Ten in all-purpose yards, WR Malik Washington is top 10 in both receptions and yards, while LT Peter Skoronski is expected to be a first-round NFL draft pick next year.
