The doomscrolling will continue until morale improves
Also I cannot edit but by “decent coach” I more specifically mean “coach that is a good fit/can maximize the program within the existing limitations”

In my opinion current Iowa is just about precisely how Wisconsin with a decent coach in place would be operating in the current environment

Would put up good records and be on the fringes of the playoff convo when the schedule is softer, wouldn’t pose a significant threat to the big boys

I wonder how many folks had him beating golden to getting his first career TD

Arguably in the endzone looking at the replay!!

Who could have foreseen how devastating that one good drive in garbage time against Maryland would end up being

Perhaps worse than stupidity, this is apathy

What if he just doesn’t use them at all

Be careful, there’s still time left!!

Not everyone can be Paul Chryst with Alex Hornibrook and Bart Houston

Is it known if this is Danny O’Neil ending up too banged up to play or is it just the coaching staff going “wildcard, bitches!” bc I’m pretty sure O’Neil got most of the starter reps coming into today

The possibility of witnessing something truly special is invaluable

Me too which is why I will be fully in on watching all the games for the rest of the season I’m afraid 😭

If you want the firing to happen that kind of win would heavily complicate things

Volleyball team is all the way back with the future football coach in attendance, things have never looked so optimistic!

I wouldn’t legitimately advocate they do this but I also would hate the idea a lot less than some would

Mike’s strengths were week prep and establishing good habits, and his teams basically always had good culture. Tell me the badgers couldn’t use that kind of thing right now
September 21, 2025 at 6:49 PM
Is it crazy of me to honestly believe that if your goal is to establish good habits and a solid culture among your team you could actually do a lot worse than Mike

I figure there is basically zero chance Fickell gets himself fired any earlier than the end of the season but god dammit if he isn’t going to try apparently
September 20, 2025 at 7:02 PM
Oh he definitely got it lmao but your point is still taken

I don’t begrudge anyone for being down on Fickell right now but I also don’t have patience for the handful of folks that are convinced the Fickell hire was stupid to begin with and we’d have been in great shape if only we’d just hired Jim
September 20, 2025 at 5:48 PM
Right and I should say I’m not calling for an immediate firing by any means, just saying that this has gone quite poorly to this point.

I also agree regarding patience generally being a better policy especially when it comes to program building. Question of course is what you’re willing to stomach
September 20, 2025 at 5:40 PM
One thing I always found crazy is that so many fans at least on the internet have trouble accepting that 3 things can all be true: 1) the Chryst firing was justified 2) the Fickell hire was good at the time and 3) Fickell’s tenure has been catastrophic

Sometimes things just don’t work
