The “Fire Fickell” chants ringing out. Really, please keep him around, UW. Give him a lifetime contract.

Kind of like it was when Nebraska had Frost....the longer he stuck around the better....I agree....keep Fickell in Wisconsin as long as possible....love the trajectory their program is on right now.

Fleck would have RUTM for 3.

He probably would have....most coaches would have been ok with a 17 point lead on the road knowing they are going to get the ball back to start the second half.

Maryland chose to chuck it and it worked out for them.

They would be far better off keeping Lincoln Riley.

Persona non grata. Hates his guts, all I hear about.

TBF, they’ve wildly underperformed. Maybe this season they right the ship. IIRC his guaranteed salary is prohibitive to firing, even for USC. Then again, there is a lot of leisure money in LA.

Bo Pelini 2.0. Its why no matter how much PJ annoys me with his in game decisions or how far removed we are from 2019, I dont think his seat should warm up so long as we are stringing together seasons that fall somewhere between serviceable/competent to pretty good.

Looking over at the Ferentz thread, id much rather have multiple decades of Ferentz-like success than the experience Nebraska and Wisconsin are having post Pelini/Chryst.

The Fickell hire is looking very much like the Scott Frost hire at Nebraska. Lots of hype, poor results.

Nebraska and Wisconsin both felt what they were getting from Pelini and Chryst wasn't good enough....and both programs have struggled to get back to those "unacceptable" under different coaches.
 




5 drops by the Maryland offense already.....catch the friggin ball
 

6 drops....come on....

Maryland doing their best to let Wisconsin back into the game.

USC probably has the best track team in NCAA football. Problem is, it's football and not track.
 

Paul Chryst's 67-26 record doesn't seem so bad now does it Wisconsin? Have fun paying that $25 million buyout and starting over again.
 

Wisconsin could go 0-8 for the rest of their schedule with the only MAYBE win is against Washington

Michigan L
Iowa L
tOSU L
Oregon L
Wash maybe W but will be L
Indiana L
Illinois L
Gophers L

😆

So does fickell make it to next week? Maybe they need a couple players to say fickell is abusing them by subjecting them to playing for him

I heard on a podcast (so take it for what it's worth) that when he was at Cincinnati, every player got the same amount of NIL money. Do you think he's still doing that at WI?

It was a different world then, so I wouldn't assume that.
 


Sconnie backup is an ok runner but not a good passer and terrible decision maker. 16 yard loss when the team is in field goal range to at least get some points because he tried to do the video game run around thing in the backfield.

Never thought I'd see the day where Wisky cant run the ball and they dont have a game manager QB...that 19 yard loss wow....

Their running game since Fickell arrived has been on a bad trajectory but seems to have hit an all time low this year.

Maybe the running backs should watch game film on that ridiculous sack. If the running backs could move forward as well as the quarterback went backwards, it would be a pretty potent rushing attack.

Harder to recruit their traditional road graders when you move to an air raid offense and go away from what’s worked there for 30 years.
