247 Sports recently released a list ranking college football’s 25 best Power 5 coaches, where they had Northwestern head coach, Pat Fitzgerald, ranked at 7th. The article says since Fitz “[Took] over one of the Big Ten's bottom-tier teams in 2006, Fitzgerald has turned ruins to a cathedral in Evanston. Prior to his arrival, Northwestern managed two 10-win seasons in a century — Fitzgerald has three since 2012. He nearly had another last fall, along with his first Big Ten Championship. The Wildcats, with lesser talent than most opponents, have posted a 26-9 record in league play over the past four years — Fitzgerald's best stretch during his lengthy tenure.” We went from not having a bowl win since 1949 to three in a row as of this season. We went from a bottom caliber team in the Big Ten to 2018 West champions. Today, we have the best athletic facilities in the nation and we’re starting to bring in 4+ star recruits. If it is not clear yet, Pat Fitzgerald has literally turned this program around a full 180° and is no doubt a top ten head coach in the country.
