Northwestern football coach Pat Fitzgerald has agreed to a new 10-year contract with the school that stretches through the 2030 season.
Fitzgerald, a former star linebacker at Northwestern who twice won national Defensive Player of the Year honors, is the winningest coach in team history, with a mark of 106-81 in 15 seasons. Since 2015, he has guided Northwestern to two 10-win seasons, four consecutive bowl victories and two Big Ten West Division championships in the past three years.
The 46-year-old was named Bobby Dodd National Coach of the Year in 2020 and won Big Ten Coach of the Year honors in 2018.
