Seems like it's an OL coach that was being labeled racist...not Fitz. The key question would be, is he still on staff or did Fitz get rid of him?
Oh yeah! Well I'm not a lawyer and I say you're wrong!
I think he is right to try to clear his name and collect on his contract, as one would believe there is some amount in there the university would pay out to settle it. But his coaching career is probably over. The accusations are what people repeat and the world then believes. There is never a full and complete accounting of what each and everyone said and did. We are getting to a world where everyone needs to wear a bodycam.
The OL coach at issue has not been on NU's staff since 2008. He now is on Michigan's staff.
The Diaz complaints related more to a few individuals, rather than the program. In fact, for years Diaz has touted on the tag line of his Twitter page that he played for Fitz at NU. In 2019, he tweeted about how much he admired Fitz's program at NU and frequently cites it to others as an example of the way programs should be run. That is why his quotes over the weekend were perplexing and perhaps out of context. Diaz is generally an advocate for mental health issues involving athletes.
Damn that is sick! You have to be demented to come up with it.
Everything is racist now - unless you are the victim and white. Having hair that hangs a foot or more out of your helmet is a safety concern to be honest. But again, it's the culture of today, wonder if they would call it racist if certain players decided to wear their game pants halfway down their backside and the coaches said "that's not our way".
He's not getting fired for racism. You can put your outrage away.
Not sure if you're being fun or serious, but if it's the latter, then on what basis do you see Fitz having a case? My wife (no pic) is an HR professional with a law degree and based on the information we outsiders have available, she agrees that Fitz has nothing if the university decides more stringent disciplinary action is warranted.
