It is nice to maintain positive relationships with former coaches…

…so that, should your program get royally Rileyed at a terrible time, you have a Bob Stoops who can step in on an interim basis to visit your top recruits in order to hold your recruiting class together for the next head coach (with a Switzer in the building, willing to lend a hand wherever possible.)

Rich program problems.

Apples and oranges. We have a neanderthal program, oklahoma is a progressive elite football program.

Think NU elite school and Oklahoma bonehead school but reverse it and think football instead of academics.

Academics is NUs baby, football is Okies baby.

Nu simply doesnt care. Demands accountability for academics only.

In tradition, fanbase, etc., of course. In truth, not many programs from any conference can stack themselves up to OU’s historical success level. They are a name football school.

But, while my post was mainly meant to marvel at the good fortune of some programs, such a thing certainly can be accomplished at a school like Northwestern. Think of Walsh returning as interim AD to lead Stanford’s coaching search…that sort of thing.

I would hope Fitz one day feels invested enough to step back in from his post-NU life, in a month of crisis, to keep the Wildcat boat steady.

It would have to be someone who really loves the program. I bet it has happened to our elite graduate school. Only one that I felt ever loved this purple headed stepchild program was Fitz. Nary a former player comes back. Never mind a good coach. Would hankwitz come back for a few games if Jon quit? Maybe.

But Im wondering if even Fitz loves this program since he refuses to prune the branches to make the vine stronger.

Maybe he does what everyone does here and that is to exploit the program.

Okie is just shocked because it happened to them. There is only one stoops family and they can be traced to pearl street on the east side.

a) “Purple headed stepchild” is quite good.
b) all the rest seems divorced from reality.

You understand that we SEE former players returning for games, right? Are you claiming those are merely actors we honor at midfield?

As far as a deep coaching tree of good former coaches goes, limiting the list to those who left for other opportunities, we have: Pappy, Ara and Gary. After a century of hiring. Who else are you pining for?

And he gets 325k

I genuinely believe OU that he tried to turn the compensation down, but that they basically have to pay him. They can’t have a volunteer employee.

Edit: Still, I would even grow a Gundy mullet if Stoops would donate it to me!

On average, very little former players give back and not alot come to games. And less than half imo would really support fitz. Its not as much "my life for fitz" as many think with his former players.

Yeah, my guess is that it will end up going into his HBC Foundation, and other related charities, absent travel expenses.

Sir ... in my experience your contributions to this board have been positive and constructive, things sometimes in short supply, especially during times of adversity. This is welcome and needs to be acknowledged. Cheers.

Eh, I seem to remember NU beating OK fairly soundly at times in the past.

I loved the kickoff classic where bates had a big game with hughes big arm and that wwe kid keith lowawski sp? Having a big game. We ended up i think 5-7 but dailey was still good and musso but when Bates went down in game 1 against okie i think we werent that great. Too bad darnell didnt come back. That was strange. Heismann guy but chose not to come back but pursue acting.

Darnell didn’t leave NU to pursue acting at first. He was drafted in the 3rd round by the Eagles and then played for the Bears. If he had today’s trainers he’d probably have had a much better NFL career.

He pursued acting after he was done with the NFL and later returned to NU to finish his degree. Check with Ned.

Isn't Bill Synder another example of a guy that came back and resurrected his program?

Our successful coaching tree is like an Alabama family tree with no branches. Basically Barney, Walker and Fitz and, of course, Walker passed away.

Corbi and coral have expertise, should Mr Fitzgerald summon them?
