That was all from his presser yesterday. You can tell he's feeling the heat already and he's in full deflection mode...

It will be interesting to see how patient Wisconsin is with Fickell

Luke Fickell: "We are not where we need to be and believe this decision is in the best interest of the team."

Wisconsin ranks 97th nationally in scoring and 102nd in passing while operating an Air Raid-style offense that Longo brought with him from North Carolina and other stops.

Wisconsin ranked 101st nationally in scoring in Longo's 23 games as coordinator and failed to eclipse 13 points on its current three-game losing streak. Quarterback Braedyn Locke had only 96 passing yards against the Ducks.

The Badgers, who lost starting quarterback Tyler Van Dyke to a season-ending injury Sep 14, had only 3 points and 88 yards in the second half against Oregon, which rallied from a 13-6 deficit entering the fourth quarter.

Have to admit I am a tad shocked as Wisconsin is going down the drain… they can’t seem to keep coaches too long and flip flop and lose Chryst whom was a great coach at UW and now they have bozo air raid Puke Pickel on a huge buyout… I would of gotten rid of Pickel before Longo to be honest

they definitely don't have an identity right now

yeah also thought their offense did pretty well moving the ball against oregon. weird to cut him loose after one of their decent performances

"Decent performance?" They scored 13 points......That's awful.

They had a ton of penalties. No pass game. Horrific 3rd down conversion percentage. No good, altogether.

Tell me ANYTHING on KF's resume' that suggests he should be fired.

There isn't anything.

You just posted a lot of crap that isn't even close to true. Do better

KF has been our coach for 26 years. KF has won zero outright B1G titles. KF has won one NY6 level bowl.

What out of that "isn't even close to true" ? Lol.

Certainly true but we have had some shared titles. Certainly we were within a whiskers of the outright title in 2015. I just ask this for context as to the rest of the B1G as a whole and Iowa's place in the conference vs their actual peers. Please name the B1G members who have won the outright title not named OSU or Michigan in the last decade. 20 years? Should be a VERY short list......

Against the #1 team in the country.

You realize you're making my point for me?

KF has far too much equity, over 26 years, including recent years, for his job to be being called for

Comprehension. Dammit dude how are you this dense about everything? Tenure overrules everything, run the ball, 10 wins, no one is welcome at my house. That cover it?

And yet you still follow along. Don't worry he will depart in 4 or 5 years.
