Danny Kanell has found himself being torched by NFL fans on social media following a tweet about Pat Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald was under fire as reports came out regarding his Northwestern football program. There were allegations involving football players from the university pressuring team members to take part in hazing activities.The hazing may have begun at Northwestern's former training camp location at Camp Kenosha in Kenosha, Wisconsin, per the person who filed the complaint. NFL fans went to Twitter to go after Kanell and his defense of Fitzgerald:This Turbulent Priest@csteele12Credulous dumbassess like @dannykanell let abusers do their thing. I don’t think Fitzgerald was the mastermind of this thing and I think he’s a pretty good coach. But this is disqualifying, and Kanell’s support of him is also disqualifying twitter.com/dannykanell/st…Danny Kanell@dannykanellI hate this. Pat Fitzgerald is a good human who cared about his players deeply. He ran his program the right way and has a stellar reputation. I have never heard anyone have a bad thing to say about him.

Schill released a letter that spoke on the move:“While I am appreciative of the feedback and considered it in my decision-making, ultimately, the decision to originally suspend coach Fitzgerald was mine and mine alone, as is the decision to part ways with him."Schill added:“While the independent investigative report will remain confidential, it is important for our community to know the facts.”Danny Kanell stated that the now-former Wildcats head coach was "a good human who cared about his players deeply."However, 11 current and former Northwestern players made it known publicly that hazing has been happening inside the football program. Fitzgerald said that both he and Schill reached a mutual agreement on his termination.Danny Kanell and his college football and NFL CareerFormer CFB and NFL QB Danny KanellDanny Kanell played college football at Florida State University for three seasons (1992-1995).
