Success, they say, can be a blessing and a curse, and things are certainly looking up for Cincinnati head coach Luke Fickell and the 5-0 Bearcats football team.
Fickell is among "head coaches we’ll be watching when the coaching carousel cranks up," according to USA TODAY's George Schroeder, and Fickell specifically could draw interest from the Big Ten.
Schroeder on Fickell:
Fickell, 45, has a pedigree as Ohio State’s former defensive coordinator (and interim head coach during the transition season between Jim Tressel and Urban Meyer). Now, in his second season at Cincinnati, he has the Bearcats unbeaten through five games.
