Fitzgerald is young and has turned Northwestern from a basement dweller to a pretty decent program. They still have down years here and there, but the academic restrictions and history make it a tough sell for recruits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caldwell is a perfect example of why the Rooney Rule needs to be eliminated. If the intent of the rule is to expand the pool of non-white Head Coaching and Executives, why bring in a retread like Caldwell? Jim Caldwell is a black Dick Jauron. Bringing him in for an interview does nothing other than check the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has never won anything in college or developed any real nfl talent.. I think he’s a good college coach because he does well with little talent, not all his fault because tough to recruit with northwestern’s academic standards. Doesn’t run anything innovative on either side of the ball. They play hard and very disciplined ... I could see him getting a higher level college gig but NFL HC seems like a huge stretch. That said i don’t think he will leave. Low expectations at northwestern. Edited December 30, 2018 by YoloinOhio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His teams play hard and have been competitive despite the major talent disadvantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) I’m very happy they won for the Big 10. Like i said he’s a good college coach. I just don’t see him as a fit for the nfl though. Edited January 1, 2019 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There does not need to be for this is a NFL board with concentration on Bills not a Bills only board as some want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
