Michigan contacted NU head coach Pat Fitzgerald about its head coaching vacancy, but Fitzgerald will not pursue the opening and will stay with the Wildcats, a Northwestern spokesperson confirmed to 670 The Score Thursday evening.

Reports surfaced Thursday that Michigan had interest in Fitzgerald after the Wolverines fired Rich Rodriguez Wednesday.

Fitzgerald is 34-29 in five seasons as Northwestern’s head coach. He led the Wildcats to its their third straight bowl game this season, a first for the program.

Fitz is gonna stay a Wildcat for the rest of his coaching career. He bleeds Purple. He could challenge Paterno for longevity. . .assuming, that is, that JoePa ever retires. GO CATS!

Coach Fitz epitomizes what College Football should be about. Student athletes.
He will bring a National Championship to NU soon.
