    Wisconsin Targeting New Name In Head Coaching Vacancy

    For the past couple of weeks, it seemed like a foregone conclusion that interim head coach Jim Leonhard would become the Badger’s next coach. It seems that he is no longer a lock for the position. Wisconsin is targeting a new name for its head coaching search, Luke Fickell.

    Wisconsin Targeting Luke Fickell

    Fickell is the current head coach at Cincinnati and a former Ohio State defensive coordinator. He has helped Cincinnati become nationally relevant as they made a trip to the College Football Playoff as a Group of 5 program. Now, the Wisconsin Badgers want Luke Fickell to be their next coach. Interim head coach Jim Leonhard impressed a lot of people including players. However, it seems that he did not do enough to keep the job.

    What Happens To Leonhard?

    It seems like the loss to Minnesota did not impress the people making the coaching decisions at Wisconsin. Many fans voiced their concerns after the loss to Minnesota as well. While players have voiced strong support for Leonhard, the results on the field have to be up to par. Wisconsin is a program that has a history of competing for the Big Ten championship and it looks like the heads of Wisconsin athletics want a more big-name hire. Wisconsin getting Luke Fickell would be a great hire for the program.

    #Badgers football coaching update: Board of Regents meeting by Zoom — at 4 p.m. TODAY. Call roll and move into closed session to consider employment and additional compensation agreements for UW head football coach.

    It looks like we could hear something soon. The Board of Regents is meeting today on Zoom at 4 pm. It looks like they want to move quickly on this. If Wisconsin gets Luke Fickell, it would be a huge asset to the program and provide a lot of optimism for the future.

      I feel the wisconsin top brass did not give leonard a fair shot and he deserved one. I am dissappointed this was wrong.
