[NU Sports] NU to announce new head football coach at 12:15 today

[John Labbe]

When I saw this announcement this morning, I had a feeling it would be Fitzgerald.  You don't say you're announcing your "29th head football coach" if you're announcing an interim coach, and I didn't think we were hiring someone from outside the program without hearing rumors.

I'm excited about this.  It's a very gutsy move on the part of NU, but one that I think will pay great dividends in the long run.
