Fitzgerald was hired as Northwestern coach by now Packers CEO Mark Murphy
By James Neveau ••
Northwestern head football coach Pat Fitzgerald has always parried aside interest from other colleges and NFL teams, but according to a new report, there could be a job opening that he may be interested in.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Fitzgerald is on the radar of the Green Bay Packers as they look for a head coach to replace the fired Mike McCarthy.
“Packers CEO Mark Murphy actually hired Fitzgerald when Murphy was AD at Northwestern,” he said. “While Fitzgerald has shut down countless interview requests from the NFL in the past, with a good sales pitch, this one may work.”

The Blackhawks' jersey pays homage to their 1933-34 look, which was worn when the team won their first Stanley Cup.
The Blackhawks' jersey includes six different years underneath the collar to honor the team's six Stanley Cup championships. In a very subtle addition, the white hash marks next to the numbers represent the iconic pattern that Notre Dame's football team has painted in their end zone.

The game at Notre Dame Stadium will be the sixth NHL contest contested in the state of Indiana and the first since 1992.

Like all Adidas Adizero jerseys, the new Winter Classic threads include the ventilation holes that add texture to the shoulders of the jersey and add some breathability for the players.

In the year after the Blackhawks wore these jerseys, they switched to a sweater with red striping, paving the way for later iterations of their classic look.
The one main difference between these jerseys and the 1933-34 look is that the back of the jersey will have a name plate instead of a series of stripes.
The Winter Classic will be the Blackhawks' seventh outdoor game and fourth Winter Classic.
Fitzgerald has been successful in his career at Northwestern, racking up a record of 95-70 in 13 seasons at the school. His team has won three bowl games during his tenure, and will be going for a fourth when they take on Utah in the Holiday Bowl on New Year’s Eve.
Fitzgerald signed a 10-year contract extension with the Wildcats last spring.
