The Wisconsin Badgers made a big move this weekend, firing offensive coordinator Phil Longo one day after their 16-13 loss to the No. 1 Oregon Ducks, marking the most significant change that head coach Luke Fickell has made in his tenure thus far.
With Longo fired, the expectation is that tight ends coach Nate Letton will call plays this Saturday when the Badgers play the Nebraska Cornhuskers, while wide receivers coach Kenny Guiton will aid in the collaborative effort by signaling in the plays.
Fickell addressed the firing on Monday during his weekly press conference, and appeared frustrated at the line of questioning from reporters, who mainly focused on his choice to fire Longo and the impact it has on the team with two games to go.
