Special thanks to David Gold, editor emeritus of InsideNU, for joining me to discuss Northwestern’s roster on this week’s podcast:
After completing the coaching staff overhaul that began in the 2022-to-2023 offseason and finally gaining access to some modern roster management tools to turn over many of the inherited pieces of the previous system, Coach Braun’s team is looking at a belated Year 1 with a stable group of coaches and schematic identity.
The Wildcats went 1-11 in 2022 but surprisingly surged to 8 wins in 2023 during Braun’s season as interim head coach, then encountered something of a falloff in 2024.
