No idea who’s going to fail or succeed but I think Rhule will be a better salesman for NU than fickle will be for UW when it comes to recruiting, he’s got some Texas ties that can purge us some talent using NIL. Wisconsin will always have homegrown lineman because the population is made of big Nordic dairy milking cheese curd inhaling fatties. We’ve got to keep Mickey at least for a year or 2 to get out recruiting back to top 20. Can you pay an assistant an incentive based contract? 1 million base with X many dollars per producing recruit
UW targeting Fickell
- Thread starter NebChicago
- Start date
Not sure anything was “the problem” at Baylor or Temple. He had both firing on all cylinders when he left.
Rhule didn’t have any buyout - he was fired by Carolina. Wisconsin will have to pay Cincinnati a buyout on top of Fickell contract
Sorry misspoken it wasn’t a buyout but Carolina owed MRhule 40M if he sat around with out coaching..
Didn't Rhule win the same conference Fickle was in twice?
Fickle sure did impress at OSU with Braxton freaking Miller

Possibly. As a DC who has the better resume, Leonard or Walter? If you are a AD and Jim Leonhard has just been added to the ‘available’ list, he deserves a look. Does he want to stay in upper Midwest? Played for 6 or 7 teams in NFL so he’s got those connections too.
The Bears led the nation in scoring and total offense in 2013, 2014 and 2015. That's three straight years. I don't think offense will be the problem.
Lol you wanted freaking Mickey. Don't think you have much room to talk when it comes to watching Nebraska get their *** kicked. That would have been a disaster
His offense was a disaster at Carolina.
At Baylor, the defense played well enough to beat OU and UGA, but the offense couldn't do much in those games.
All things considered, fickell is undoubtedly a better hire than rhule. Its the simple truth when you eliminate husker homerism.
This is disappointing news,
Whether Rhule is a 7-9 guy or a 10-12 guy is going to be dependent on who he hires as assistants.

Not me. I think he’s at his peak and he’s been blown out in big boy games
How so? Because he stayed at Cinnci forever and never left to take on rebuilding a P5 program?
You can say he was a good hire but we don’t know how it will work out. At the time Frost was a good hire.

Ok…eye roll…do I really have to present the credentials of fickell to you? I dont and it doesnt matter anyway, the husker rose colored glasses are out in full force.
Whatever, I hope you’re right and we arent losing to wisconsin most years. I was wrong about frost.
what happens if it doesn't work out? Trev gets fired?
No ****
You already won the gold medal in that, man
I know his resume and I think he’s a good coach. I also think Rhule’s resume, including cleaning up the dumpster fire left at Baylor is impressive. He could have also picked the easy route and stayed at Temple and continued to rack up double digit wins year after year if he chose to.
I would be more than happy with an 11-12 win "loser" after the **** show we have had for almost a decade.
Fan like me .... I had zero input on the hire just like you. But nah let's not support something that can not be changed. Lmao you are unhinged at this point. But carry on with a sulking temper tantrum.
Couple questions.
Did Fickell do the best at Cincy with his players or someone else's?
Did he progressively get better at Cincy or has he regressed?
Honest questions.

Lol. Hope you’re not serious. We got our tier 2 coach. Fickel or any other tier 1 was never coming here. To say Fickel got blown out. You might want to look at argyles record LOL. Good grief.
