My GOD how idiotic is Danny Kanell? He took six too many hits during his playing days. To suggest Fitz is innocent is to basically spit on the players who were victimized in this mess.
Danny Kannell is beyond dumb if he thinks they fired him without reason. There was evidence of both current players and former players coming forward with their experience of hazing and racism. And the fact you have Danny Kannell coming on CBS Sports to play the whataboutism is just plain lazy. I would think if the roles were different and the coach were black or African American I promise you Danny Kannell's opinion would be different. HE IS PART OF THE PROBLEM. Why it can be difficult for people to come forward because of fear of being exposed or harassed. But let's all hold Pat Fitzgerald hand and not worry about the victims..
I'm not sure if DK would be the same if the coach was black, but it is sick that he defends him instead of staying neutral, not knowing the facts. I'm sorry, but with all that naked behavior, if the HC did not know, then he should be fired for lack of control.
@@mr.ohiostate2544 I agree with you the point I was trying to make was Danny Kannell defending Pat Fitzgerald even when there is evidence of him knowing about the hazing. I try my best not to always play the race card but it seemed to me that if the roles were different and the victims were white that he would still be defending him. I could be wrong. But a question to ponder??
@bearhudson228 I agree. It is possible. I don't know much about DK to have an opinion on his racial stance, but I will say I his defense of PF is nuts. Crazy world we live in.
Danny Kannel said he is bias, why even call him to talk about this subject? Why even allow him that opportunity? People who doesn't know the situation should be neutral. And ps. Anyone who supports hazing of any kind like Danny support. Should be banished from the game.
So if you gave someone a ride they had weed in the car? We get pulled over. What should you go to jail also? Cause hey you should know right? Man your dumb
They act like they don't remember Jerry Sandusky when dude says he never saw someone's rep ruined so quickly. This is why I don't want my kids playing sports at that level.

Hazing stuff aside he finished 1-11 and the season before 3-9. Not like he was trending in the right direction. Northwestern wasnt going anywhere relevant with him and they werent going anywhere relevant without him. Sure they had some decent seasons but you can't tell me they were ready to take it to the next level. Hes an alright coach but Northwestern was always a doormatt in the conference and will go back to being one Also if the Hazing stuff was accurate regardless of if he knew or not, i don't think dry humping is the way to go to toughen up your team. Their record reflects that quite well. And if the coach knew maybe he should've focused more on winning than whatever the fuck this is.
Winning? Who cares? Being Hazing free is what matters. Fitzgerald had a 110-101 record. In the next 18 years. Northwestern will be 61-150. (If they’re lucky. They probably won’t even win that many) but everybody happy in their safe space.
You pay this guy millions of dollars and he doesn't know. Bullshit. If Kannell wants to act like bullying and hazing ok, he can join Fitzgerald in the unemployment line. THERE IS NO PLACE FOR HAZING AND BULLYING PERIOD.
Hazing is a part of the college experience. College football coaches cannot stop control every aspect of the behavior of all of his football players. Who are they going to get to replace him at that with it's high academic standards. This may be a dumb move.
@@hotdangers How would go about stopping hazing? I seen people beaten, tomatoes bombed, and waffled (pants taken down placed a tennis rack over their butt then use a brush the waffle their behind) this was in the 1970s. It is 2023. It is not stopping anytime soon. It is considered TRADITION.
Agreed - I argue with my friend about how weak and soft people have become in this country. Hazing? Who cares?

Kannel sexually assaulted guys and is now deflecting and making excuses for rapists. Loathsome piece of garbage
Maybe find an impartial reporter? This dude is obviously a friend of Pats, so this seems like some messed up coverage.
Him claiming ignorance or not knowing is reason enough to fire him.

If they fired him, criminal charges have to be on the way for players, and possibly Pat, if he in fact, 'knew.' This is a wild story

THEY SHOULD HAVE FIRED HIM YEARS AGO!!!!! A BAD FOOTBALL COACH TO SAY THE LEAST!!!
Yeah also fire the athletic director, and the players involved in the hazing should be thrown in prison.
Only if they’re white. Black people are t held accountable in America
The AD is new, not laying anything on him since he has wet feet still from just arriving
danny should follow more of the reporting from the student paper then again hes his guy so surely nothing was wrong
I'm a Florida State guy but that is 🤣
If he knew, he was not doing his job. If he didn't know, he was not doing his job. Makes sense the university cut ties.
Lol, Danny is not impartial.
Not at all lmao

All hazing should be banned in high schools and colleges. No excuse for it to exist.
Gettem outta there!
THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE 1-11.….. NOT WHEN YOU'RE 11-1
I could of sworn hazing was banned at universities.
Not sure if it outright banned at all universities. My guess is no.

Penn St. All over again remember. Coach Pa.
