The Wisconsin football team, under Jim Leonhard as the defensive coordinator, boasted some of the best defenses in the country in recent years.

In five years of Leonhard leading the defense before 2023 when he became the interim coach, the Badgers ranked in the top 10 in scoring defense four times. From 2018-22 they allowed just 17.3 points per game, third in the country.

Leonhard, however, is no longer with the program after he was passed over for the team's head coaching job.

It’s not too late to turn to a favorite son of the program. Mid season move to replace Fickle with Leonhard?

It is time.

Would this make Wisconsin fickle and Fickle fired?
 

It’s “foundering,” not “floundering”. English 101.
 


It’s “foundering,” not “floundering”. English 101.
From Grammarist:
To flounder is (1) to struggle or move with difficulty, as in mud; or (2) to behave awkwardly or make mistakes. One who flounders does not fail completely but merely struggles. To founder is (1) to cave in, (2) to sink below the water, (3) to fail utterly, or (4) to go lame. While to flounder is merely to struggle, foundering usually involves utter failure.

Because there are degrees of struggle and failure, and because failure is often the outcome of struggle, flounder and founder often come close together. In sports, for example, a losing season can be seen as either a struggle or a failure, and indeed flounder and founder both commonly appear in reference to losing sports teams.
 


Flounder was made up and made acceptable to help to the uneducated sound smart, like “irregardless”.

For Wisconsin fans, time to get out the torch songs and bottle of Jim Bean.

"Baby, it could have been great [drink]
But I'm all alone on this beach of life with a dead smelly flounder washed up like me [drink]
 




If the Bears can defend their home field today, a state of emergency will need to be called for the loose-jowled, besotted denizens to the east.
