Badgers Head Coach Luke Fickell Responds to Frustrated Alumni

Being the head coach of the Wisconsin Badgers football team comes with more than just expectations — it also comes with a deeply invested fanbase. Part of this devoted fanbase includes quite a few notable former players who helped build the foundation of the program and aren’t afraid to voice their opinions when things don’t go as planned.

During and even after Wisconsin’s 38-21 loss to USC, plenty of ex-Badgers standouts wasted no time taking to social media to express their frustrations, pinpointing specific issues like play-calling, execution, and, in some cases, the team’s overall direction under Luke Fickell.
