Luke Fickell and the Wisconsin Badgers football program might become beneficiaries of an odd NFL head coaching carousel.
After getting fired by the Tennessee Titans, Mike Vrabel, to the surprise of many, didn’t land another head coaching job this offseason. Even more perplexing is the possibility that Vrabel might not even secure a defensive coordinator position, adding uncertainty to his immediate future.
Fortunately for the Badgers, Coach Fickell and Vrabel are close friends, former teammates, and college roommates. By all accounts, that long-standing relationship will benefit Wisconsin football this spring.
