Former Northwestern football coach Pat Fitzgerald will be on the sidelines helping a powerhouse high school football program this fall.
Loyola Academy, a top-ranking football program in Wilmette, Ill., less than five miles from Wildcats’ Ryan Stadium, announced Thursday that Fitzgerald will be a parent volunteer for the program. Fitzgerald is no stranger to the school as two of his sons currently attend Loyola Academy with one on the football team. One of his children is also a 2023 alum of the school.
However, prior to earning the new role, the program released a statement saying that Fitzgerald completed training, a background check as well as signed a code of conduct pact to ensure that he meets the program’s coaching and volunteering mandates, according to the The Record North Shore.
