Pat Fitzgerald becomes first Northwestern coach fired with years left on his contract since Rick Venturi in 1980. Denny Green left for NFL. Francis Peay’s contract expired, and he didn’t get a new one. Barnett bolted for Buffs. Walker passed away.
2016 was peak Under Armour: Reigning MVPs in NBA (Curry), NFL (Newton), NHL (Price), MLB (Harper) plus Spieth, defending Masters and U.S. Open champ. Also, Michael Phelps racking up more gold in his last Olympics, and Brady starting a season that ended with a Super Bowl title.
Northwestern has partnered with Under Armour as its official outfitter since 2012.
However, fractured contracts and company uncertainty have cast doubts.
Despite UA being in "active partnership" with NU, it may be time to wonder if the clock is running. https://t.co/wi8UArwkTi

Goodness. I guess in a few hours I’ll turn 76!
I’ve been clean and #sober nearly 29 years but now I’m fighting another disease, #Parkinson’s. I pray I stay strong no matter how dark it can feel at times and be of service to those who like myself, can feel hopeless. ❤️RL

Deeply honored by the recognition from the @cifccs and @CIFState for the two awards this morning. Also grateful that the @mercnews & @EastBayTimes remain committed to HS sports coverage.
