It is with great sadness that Northwestern University has announced the dismissal of their head football coach, Pat Fitzgerald, following an investigation into hazing allegations.
The investigation was launched after reports of hazing incidents involving the football team surfaced. The school found that the hazing was not only inappropriate, but also dangerous and in violation of school policy. As a result, the school has decided to part ways with Coach Fitzgerald.
Coach Fitzgerald had been with the school since 2006, and had led the team to a number of successes over the years. He had become a beloved figure in the Northwestern community, and his dismissal is a shock to many.
The school has yet to announce who will take over as head coach, but they have stated that they are committed to finding someone who will continue to uphold the values of the school and its football program.
Hazing is a serious issue, and Northwestern University is taking a strong stance against it by dismissing Coach Fitzgerald. It is a reminder that hazing is not tolerated in any form, and that those who engage in it will be held accountable for their actions.
The Northwestern community wishes Coach Fitzgerald all the best in his future endeavors, and hopes that he can find success elsewhere.
