Sources: Northwestern fires baseball coach Jim Foster

(670 The Score) Northwestern has fired head baseball coach Jim Foster, sources told 670 The Score's Danny Parkins.

Foster created a toxic culture within the Northwestern baseball program that has run off coaches, broken the spirit of his team and led to a human resources investigation by the university regarding his alleged bullying and verbally abusive behavior, nine sources told 670 The Score in a story released Monday afternoon.

Northwestern president Michael Schill and athletic director Derrick Gragg informed the baseball team of Foster's dismissal late Thursday.

The dismissal of Foster coincides with Northwestern firing head football coach Pat Fitzgerald on Monday in the wake of an investigation confirming allegations of hazing within that program.

Foster was 10-40 in his lone season leading Northwestern.
