In a significant move, the Wisconsin Badgers have fired offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Phil Longo, the team announced on Sunday.
“This morning, I informed Phil Longo that he will no longer serve as our offensive coordinator,” head coach Luke Fickell shared in an official statement. “After continuing to evaluate the program, I decided we are not where we need to be and believe this decision is in the best interest of the team. I appreciate Phil’s commitment to helping us build our program over the past two seasons and wish him well moving forward. This team still has a lot in front of us and I am committed to doing everything we can to close out this season with success.
