Former Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald could be a potential candidate for the Arkansas football program, with interest reportedly building on both sides.
Fitzgerald, who led Northwestern for 17 seasons before his dismissal in 2023, could be eyeing a return to the sidelines and Arkansas may be the program ready to give him that opportunity.
A Proven Builder Looking for a Second Act
Fitzgerald was fired from Northwestern in July 2023 following a hazing scandal within the football program, though he maintained he was unaware of the incidents. Initially suspended for two weeks, the university later terminated him for cause, citing a “broken” team culture.
