Skip Holtz to join scandal-ridden Northwestern football as special assistant, per reports
View Date:2024-12-25 01:04:27
Northwestern is adding coach Skip Holtz to its football staff, according to reports from ESPN and the Associated Press.
Holtz has been hired as a special assistant to interim head coach David Braun but will only serve in the role for a few months, the reports stated.
Holtz is currently the coach of the USFL's Birmingham Stallions, but his position with the Wildcats will not interfere with his work there. The Stallions won back-to-back championships in the first two seasons of the league's reboot.
Holtz also has coaching experience with Notre Dame, Florida State, South Carolina, South Florida, East Carolina and Louisiana Tech, where he won six consecutive bowl games as head coach. He is the son of former Fighting Irish Hall of Fame coach Lou Holtz.
Northwestern fired head football coach Pat Fitzgerald earlier this month after reports of a hazing scandal sent shock waves through college football. Several lawsuits followed as student-athletes came forward with their testimonies of the alleged hazing incidents.
The program named Braun interim head coach three days after terminating Fitzgerald. Braun joined the team as defensive coordinator in January after serving the same position for four years at North Dakota State where the Bison won two FCS national championships.
The Wildcats went 1-11 last year, two seasons after beating Auburn in the Citrus Bowl.
