The word “disaster” doesn’t even begin to describe the 2025 Michigan State football season, but it’s a good start. It’s gotten so bad that fans are even floating the name ‘Pat Fitzgerald’ around.
Fitzgerald, the former Northwestern head coach, was fired amid controversy. Former players alleged that hazing was going on behind the scenes and that Fitzgerald supposedly knew about it and did nothing to stop it. That forced the university to suspend him in 2023, and then fire him shortly after, right before the season.
The long-time Northwestern coach had a solid run with the Wildcats, going 110-101 there (not easy to do) with three 10-win seasons.
