2022 Wisconsin Season Thread

[FearlessF]

Leonard or Leipold,good luck PC,seemed the Brass had to get the jump on a difference maker - good luck to them.The conference is always better when the Camp is a factor.Hope Sparty wakes up soon also as their HC tain't goin' nowhere

if they want Leonard it makes sense that a few other programs might be interested in giving him a head coach spot

if they want Leipold or Aranda, they want to get in the bidding before a Nebraska or other program make a deal

[FearlessF]

I don't like it because Wisconsin can be looked at as a more desirable job than Nebraska.

Could pluck the coach on the top of Trev's list

[MrNubbz]

Based on how that worked last time it may work out if their top guy is taken.Look at all the guys loaded with promise just in the last 5 yrs or so given hefty contracts who have tanked

[FearlessF]

as I've stated, it seems there are only a handful of good coaches out there

Georgia, Bama, Ohio St, Clemson

maybe Kansas

I wonder how much this uncharacteristic mid-season firing trend is 'transfer portal' related?

That's about the only thing I can figure as to why this is now a thing?

Ding ding ding.

Got passed up by a true freshman this season. QB room is really thin after not taking one in 2021 and no commits for 2023 yet.

[847badgerfan]

The QB room now consists of 

Graham Mertz - JR starter
Chase Wolf - SR been out hurt all season
Miles Burkett - true freshman
Marshall Howe - true freshman walk-on

It was telling that only Mertz, Burkett and Howe travelled Saturday. 

Not surprised that Deacon Hill decided to pull the plug.

It’s one of those cases where you look at the depth chart, and if you can’t say that the kid completely established himself as a back up, he might just not have it.

That might be me pulling the plug too soon, you never know

Came into Fall camp overweight. That did not help him.

Great arm, no touch and not very mobile due to being out of shape.

The Badgers, now led by interim head coach Jim Leonhard, improved to 3-3 Saturday with a 42-7 road victory over the Northwestern Wildcats. They face Michigan State at 3 p.m. this Saturday at Spartan Stadium.

"I have a ton of respect for Deacon," Leonhard said during his news conference on Monday. "This is a little bit of the new normal. Kids have to weigh what they think their future is and where they stand. 

"You get one opportunity to play college football. You like guys to continue to push and trust the process and the decision they made to come here, but sometimes it gets to a point where they feel like they have to move on. We'll do everything we can to support Deacon. I think he's got a ton of talent. I think he's going to be a great quarterback at this level. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like it's going to happen here."

Former 2019 5 STARZ OT Logan Brown has entered the portal. Kid just couldn't put it all together. Had every opportunity as he was named starter to open Fall camp.

come on home to Ann Arbor, we'll take him. probably winds up in EL though, Mel seems to be King of the Portal. 

[847badgerfan]

Why would you want a kid who couldn't start at Wisconsin, and one who quit on his teammates mid-week, mid-season?

He's going to Eastern.
