It's really been so bleak, and it's hard to understand how rapidly things have declined and for what reasons. The most appalling thing about this year is how predictable it was. My best guess going into the year was 1-11 with a win over Nebraska, and that's exactly what we got, and it was somehow even more excruciating than I expected.

I don't see a way out of this with any of the current people involved at the top. Fitz could just take the David Shaw escape hatch out of love for the school, but I have absolutely zero belief that the current AD would make a hire that does anything to reflect being ready for the next era of the Big Ten. Northwestern is currently the 14th-best program in the conference two years after a division title, and they are extremely on track to be 16th when it expands.

So good, man. No surprise, of course, but just wanted to let you know
