The thing I have a problem with this is the staff keeping their jobs. There’s a good chance they knew more and promoted more about this **** than Fitz did.

Out of fairness to some of the assistants, a good chunk of them (including the DC) started in back in January this year. Could very well be plausible that those guys didn't know what was going on. Still figuring stuff out that early into a new job. I'd bet that the DC gets the interim job for now, but the second the season ends the house gets cleaned.

Guy Benson from Townhall and Fox is a NW alum and wrote a very good article about the whole thing. It’s not political in any way, so it’s a safe read no matter which side of the aisle you vote for.

That's a great take. Especially this part

The student newspaper story prompted one backlash, which triggered another. The serious, confirmed allegations of some ex-players matter, and it seems like accountability and reforms are definitely in order. But the impassioned denials and defenses of many other Wildcat players, past and present, also matter. Quite a few of them are charging that the whistleblowers are distorting the facts and dramatically embellishing the resulting harm. With an imperfect, partial view of what actually happened, and the severity of the hazing, it's impossible for me to render a clear-eyed judgment about the firing. I'm open to the notion that after extremely poor seasons in three of the last four years, coupled with this stain on his 'Wildcat Way' preaching, Fitz deserved to lose his job. I'm also open to the idea that a more fitting form of discipline would have stopped well short of outright termination, even if the initial two-week glorified vacation was woefully insufficient.
