He was a horrible hire. It still shocks me that anyone thought it was a good hire.

It doesn't help that Wisky is another Big Ten poverty program but hiring Luke, even if they come back to win this game, was a mistake.
he had cincy in the cfp. hindsight though is perfect.

ku's lance leipold would be a strong candidate when wisconsin changes coaches.

Ehhh, Desmond Ridder had Cincy in the playoffs.

There is a reason that Wisconsin got Luke and not some badass school.

I think he's gone. Their remaining schedule is a nightmare (Mich, Iowa, Ohio St, Oregon, Wash, Indiana, Illinois, Minn). They avoided PSU but there are only a couple games there that they have a chance at winning.

There’s a decent chance that the team just quits on him altogether and they get pounded week after week.

I think he is gone as well and I think he wants to be gone.

Dude will get a sweet buyout and can go do nothing for the rest of his life...maybe "consult" here and there.

He’s a doofus. Where are all the people who wanted us to hire him now? Man we dodged a bullet when they worked things out with Rhule. Fickel was either plan B or C. Leipold and Kleiman started out okay but they’re floundering now. Some of that might be NIL
Huge difference in coaching in the Little 12 leftover conf or Big 10 and SEC. Fickle has coached vs many of the Little 12 teams coaching staffs and won vs the inferior competition -Name one that could coach in the BIG or SEC where the best highest paid coaches are all at-NONE you mentioned

I am truly surprised Kleiman has stuck with QB Avery Johnson. He looks like one of those players who spends far too much time looking at himself in a mirror while all suited up for a game. He really makes some boneheaded plays and has no feel for the game. Worse he is a very inaccurate passer.

Fickle? Ohio State could not run away from him fast enough.
