Northwestern football staffers, including offensive coordinator Mike Bajakian, were seen wearing shirts that seemed to honor former coach Pat Fitzgerald during practice Wednesday, and they received backlash from the college football world online for the action. Fitzgerald was fired after the school launched an investigation into hazing within the football program.
Interim coach David Braun was asked about the shirts and said his job is to support his players and staff members.
“It’s not my business to censor anyone’s free speech,” he said, according to ESPN.
