- Pat Fitzgerald (born December 2, 1974 in Orland Park, Illinois) is the current head coach of the Northwestern University Wildcats football team. He was selected after the unexpected death of Randy Walker and announced at a press conference on July 7, 2006. He was 31 at the time of his appointment, making him the youngest coach in the Big Ten Conference and in NCAA Division I-A football by five years. With Lane Kiffin's hiring at the University of Tennessee on December 1, 2008, Fitzgerald loses his status as the youngest coach by about 6 months. Fitzgerald starred at Linebacker for the Wildcats in the mid-1990s, helping to lead the team to a 10-1 regular season record and a berth in the 1996 Rose Bowl, its first appearance there since 1949. Fitzgerald was unable to play in the game, however, after breaking his leg in the next-to-last game of the 1995 season. Fitzgerald returned for the 1996 season, leading the Wildcats to the 1997 Citrus Bowl. In his playing career, he twice was named Big Ten defensive player of the year and won both the Bronko Nagurski Trophy and the Chuck Bednarik Award in 1995 and then again in 1996, becoming the first two-time winner of both honors. Fitzgerald is the 15th Northwestern player and/or coach to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. He will be honored at a ceremony on Dec. 9, 2008 in New York, and then enshrined in the Hall of Fame, which is located in South Bend, Indiana, in July of 2009. After graduation, Fitzgerald briefly played with the Dallas Cowboys but decided that coaching was his calling. He joined the coaching staff at the University of Maryland in 1998, then moved on to Colorado under his former Northwestern coach, Gary Barnett. He took a job at the University of Idaho before returning to Northwestern, where he served as linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator until his promotion to head coach. Fitzgerald has been named to the AFCA's Ethics Committee. He begins his term in the fall of 2009. Personal: Fitzgerald resides in Evanston with his wife Stacy and 3 sons, Jack, Ryan and Brendan.
