FITZ FIRES McCALL
Northwestern
announced that offensive coordinator Mick McCall will not return to
coach the Wildcats, making the announcement less than a day after NU's
football season came to an end. The 'Cats ranked near the bottom of the
FBS in offense, triggering a program collapse just one season after
winning the Big Ten West title.
According to Teddy Greenstein in the Chicago Tribune's coverage,
potential replacements for McCall include Notre Dame assistant coach
Tom Rees and former Wisconsin assistant Matt Canada. Greenstein notes
about McCall's firing, "more staff changes could be coming."
'CATS THUMP ILLINI 29-10
Andrew Marty: 166 Total Yards, 3 TDs;
Coco Azema: 123 Rushing Yards, 1 TD;
Fitz: Win #99
Gaziano became NU's all-time sack leader
during the Minnesota game.
