[NU Sports] Defense

[Roy Lamberton]

A better answer would be that Fitz used to be one of the guys who signaled the
defenses in when RW was the head coach.

As I recall the talk about how the phones work at NU, the guys upstairs would
call the play, and RW would have the option of overriding the call. With McGee
down talking with Johns up stairs, I'm sure Johns is relating what he sees and
McGee and Fitz are talking back and forth on the field, even though they're in
different parts of the sidelines.

If you noticed the Hawks, with their coordinators both down  on the field, had a
lot of space between Ferentz, the OC and the DC, at least that's how it looked
on TV.

Anyway, I wouldn't put too much stock in one or two shots of Fitz holding up
fingers towards the defense and reading grand changes.

While most of the fans in a few folk's circles hope for coaching changes at the
end of the season, I personally will be surprised at ANY, unless someone is
hired away.
