Northwestern Athletic Director Mark Murphy is leaving the University to become CEO of the Green Bay Packers. Murphy, who has NFL playing experience, was well-respected at the school which has enjoyed considerable success in several sports over the last few years. The Tribune gave the story an entire column on the back page of the sports section.
Hidden away inside the sports section, in a tiny little paragraph, was far bigger news. Greg Colby, defensive coordinator, will not return for 2008. Head coach Fitzgerald, himself once a star linebacker at NU, couldn't have been pleased with the defense's performance this year. Removing Colby is a good first step, and we'll have to wait and see who Fitz picks as the replacement. Tip: Get someone who understands the words "pass rush" and "blitz".
