Thank you for noticing, Art.
Best post for me was the one where my mouse died and I had to start over.
Forgot what I wanted to say, got distracted by one of the dogs and that was it.
Solid non post.
I feel like we've covered this before, but I'm taking it in a new direction.
Schlichter or Linkletter?
I should be so lucky to have my own bridge to be under. Cardboard box baby. Lined that sucker with newspaper and an old pillow I got from the goodwill people for like 2 bucks, it's all stained and whatnot, but it's comfy. It gets a little chilly at night, especially with the snow on the ground but I back the box up to a huge boulder, and build a little fire and then it's all nice and toasty, although I have lost 3 boxes this winter because the fire was to close. :confused:I think its under a bridge
He may find concepts work, but the incredible consistency Hankwitz honed into his defense wont be toppedJim O'Neil announced as Northwestern defensive coordinator

My advice?
Get a cat, then you wont have time to become so attached to your mouse, though the dog distraction might remain, or even escalate

Yes I dids
Probably not, but it will be close, always is, even tho there were times it shouldn't have been.
I'll have to do some digging on his struggles as a DC before I give an opinion, but I suspect the switch from elite pro athletes to Northwestern level kids might be a struggle for him. Hard to say for sure.
100% agree that if he's there for twenty years and approaches Hankwitz' level of success, Fitz made a great hire. Based on his his short tenure at most stops, you wonder if he'll stick or if he's just trying to step into a HC role eventually.
That's the biggest compliment I can give Fitzgerald. He's a damned good coach and that ability, his personality, leadership and knowledge lead to that result.
His teams consistently over perform.
As a head coach, what better trait could you possibly have?
Could be done now, with basic, sound, fundamental football. They have to stop beating themselves. Do that, 8-4 is easy, then you can worry about the next step.
