“My family and I are thrilled to join the Wisconsin family,” Fickell said in a statement released by Wisconsin. “This is a destination job at a program that I have admired from afar for years. I am in total alignment with Chris McIntosh's vision for this program. There is a tremendous foundation here that I can't wait to build upon. This world-class university, athletic department and passionately loyal fan base all have a strong commitment to success and I can't wait to be a part of it.”

I think Fickell may have come to the conclusion that an OSU offer was never coming, Penn State and Michigan were too nauseating to consider, and Wisconsin was both available and his next best option for coaching in the B1G after OSU.

I thought that he would have tried for the Notre Dame job after Kelly left. You have to wonder if there was any communication between Notre Dame and Fickell before they promoted Freeman.

I wonder if he tries to keep Leonard. If not, where does that guy go? Someone will be snatching him up tout-suite!

Trying to keep Leonard will be a mute point if another "big time" school offers him a head coaching position. It will be interesting to see who (if anybody) from the Juggalos that he's going to bring with him. Apparently Coombs is staying in Cincinnati, he's the new interim head coach there.

A lot of the juggalos are actually trying to make the argument that Cincy is a better job than Wisconsin because of the B12 move. Once UT/OU are gone there isn't a job in the new B12 that comes close to Wiscy.

I kinda wish the move would have happened a few years ago since there is no way the BigXII even considered them if they are 9-3 and below every season.
