The Wisconsin Badgers made a significant move this weekend, as head coach Luke Fickell fired offensive coordinator Phil Longo after just 23 games with the program.
Longo was Fickell’s highest-profile hire back when taking the job, and he was expected to bring a vastly different system to Wisconsin with hopes of creating an explosive passing attack that could be complemented well in the run game.
Unfortunately, due to injuries and inconsistencies, that never materialized in Madison, leading to the drastic move by Fickell with two weeks left in the season.
Why did Fickell ultimately fire Longo on Sunday?
