When do we start talking about the head coach?

When do we start talking about the head coach?

Hmmm. Good Q. 

Next year. Depending on things. Like if they lose out, he’s a midseason firing candidate. 

If they bowl this year, you see how next year goes. If they miss a bowl, out. If they win 8 or more, peachy. If they win cruddy feeling 6 or 7, check the vibes.

He's a defensive guy. 

His DC also sucks.

Iowa doesn't throw.

Tressel's defense in response?

2 DL
4 LB
5 DB

What in the ever-loving F**K is that? And he runs out the same shit after the half?

How would anyone expect that to work against 5 OL, 1-2 TE and a fullback? Iowa had 325 yards rushing. Inexcusable. 

Heads must roll this week. Name an interim OC (Guiton) and let Fick be the HC/DC. 

Also, lose the T.E.A.M. vest. Too Fleckish.

Herring was a very good DL in Madison. This is going to turn ugly.

I’ll have to double check, but I think the problem there is they don’t have enough defensive lined depth, which is obviously a big problem, but not One with a solution yesterday.

Historically, they actually had surprisingly good run stopping with that 2-4-5 approach, granted they used to have a bunch of actually beastly outside linebackers.

yes, but probably not against heavy sets like Iowa

They did, but they also had an awesome group of LB's since Dave Aranda came to town, along with better line talent. The defenses under Aranda, Wilcox and Leonhard were nasty, up until 2022. Recruiting took a nosedive starting in 2020 and here we are.

[MrNubbz]

hope they get it sorted,Big is always better when the Badgers have a say

This is a must watch.

Omg.  😂😂😂

Made me laugh, but bottom line this team needs an identity. The offense can't move the chains consistently enough against good defenses, leaving a gassed defense out there. And the QB throws too many INTs. I agree that I'm not especially impressed by the defense, but the offense is causing a lot of the defensive problems, giving up short fields, and just too much time on the field. As I said in the game thread, I'm not completely done with the offense, but it isn't working right--something has to give.

Longo has to be first to go, but Fickell's seat will be warm next year, even if the Badgers do make a bowl. It will be hot if they don't.

Jim Leohnard is smiling somehwere--but he's probably fortunate that he didn't get the job. The truth is Fickell did inherit a program in trouble.

Starting at 32 seconds in:
“[T]hat’s the first time I felt - this – right, even after the Alabama game it wasn’t the same thing.
Um, this was somethin’ that a – that kind of your worst nightmare to just kind of be overtaken and -a- manhandled and dominated, especially in the second half." [Purses lips, closes eyes, swallows hard, scratches forehead, looks down, then comforts his face rubbing his hand over it down to his chin].
I’m pretty sure he didn’t mean to make his reaction sound like a plot from a questionable romance novel, but after I typed this direct quote, now I’m not so sure.
