Pat Fitzgerald has been the head coach for 15 years now. The past seven years he has lead his team to a 49-37 record, with the 2020 season being his best. That year he won the Big Ten West and Citrus Bowl. Every other year has been his on year, looking at the stats you can see this. His best run was 2017-2018 seasons with a 10-3 and 9-5 run. Outside of that he has gone every other year with a winning season. Northwestern Football has had their fair share of ups and downs, this is why 2022 will be an “up” year.
Northwestern Football Returning Starters:
Northwestern is returning 8 starters on offense, but the biggest question mark is at QB. They have 4 competing for this job including a redshirt freshman Brendan Sullivan. Peyton Ramsey, Five star Clemson transfer Hunter Johnson, and Ryan Hilinski are the other three competing.
On Defense they are returning 5 starters from last year, which hopefully the new blood can help tighten up this defense which had several holes. The talent coming in this year is looking promising and could be exactly what Pat ordered.
