Don't see this as an upgrade. More like a wash.

For him? Or for the badgers? This is huge for UW. Besides he went from P6 to on the cusp of P4 to P2

Really? I think Fickell is an amazing coach. This is a great hire for Wisconsin.

I think Chryst had them in the B1G title game 3x in 8 years. If Fickell could do better than that he is an amazing coach.

All you have to do is look at what Fickell has done at Cincinnati to know he is an amazing coach.

 

[UConnJim]

Cincinnati is about to become a much harder job moving to the Big 12 compared to playing in the AAC. Don't forget, Texas and Oklahoma will probably be there for 2 more years making it even more difficult. Fickell is moving on while he is still a hot coach as he may not be in a year or 2.

B1G is a little different than playing Temple and USF. He did a phenomenal job at Cincinnati, not denying that. I just wonder if he really is an upgrade over a very solid coach like Chryst.

Great hire for both. Wisconsin just guaranteed themselves a shot at the B1G CCG every if they can beat USC/UCLA or whomever emerges there. Would have been run over by one of those, otherwise.

 

[metsfan2323]

I called this yesterday, no P5 fanbase is going to want to hire a guy that just got his doors blown off by New Mexico State. It's not out of the question that the Liberty players heard the rumors and quit on their coach, costing him the job.

A great career move too, makes Fikell one step away from Ohio State should have success at Wisconsin , if Ryan Day keeps losing to Harbaugh very possible Fikell is next in line to get the job in the next 2-3 years.

The big west is very weak. Winning 3 is nothing to beat your chest about. Purdue won this year, beating out iowa who simply had to beat Nebraska. Purdue lost to Cuse. Meanwhile, the big east is a scramble every year among 3-4 legit teams. He will exceed that low bar imho

How’d you like to be the AD at auburn having to listen to money men. He and big Bruce are perfect for the plains.

Win at any/all cost says the Auburn donors... honestly thought folks would back off of Urban Meyer at this point in time.... at the P5 level this guy just wins...all the time it seems....but it's like selling your soul hiring him right now....no?

Squeeze is on…

Allegedly the reaction from the team (LIberty) in response to Freeze's rumored departure and clear statement about his interest in the Auburn opening was very bad, that likely played a role in that NMSU result.. but also raises the question of will he have lost that team now even if forced to come back.

I’m when was the last time UCLA was the dominant team in any league? Why would you expect them to be that in the Big 20? They are part of the package because:
A. USC needed a west coast partner.
B. UCLA is Hollywood!
They were not selected for their successful program. They won’t be any more successful in the Big. They are Minnesota in snazzy uniforms.
