[NU Sports] What needs to be said...

If Fitz is truly in over his head and we see two or three very poor seasons  
without any improvement,  then I think the University will look for an  
alternative. A five-year honeymoon is, I think, not in the cards.  The  problem is 
that repeated bad performances adversely affects everything from  stadium 
attendance and alumni support to recruitment, a spiral outcome we  saw in the 80s 
and do not want to repeat.
 
Avoiding that unpleasant prospect, however, will require Fitz's leadership  
in staff management and restructuring starting after this season.  The  likely 
2-10 or 3-9 record will scream for change.  The status quo will not  stand.  
What Fitz does with his coaching roster could  be the most important factor 
governing his own future at Northwestern.

Not  reasonable, I am not a football coach, but am a kgsm and cas nu guy who  
 
turned around 3 companies and retired at 56. He needs at least 2 years to  
get  
his bearings, his coaching team, and philosophy together. Give  him a break 
due  to the difficult circumstances he inherited. I hate  losing as much as 
anybody,  but cut some slack  here.
