I'd guess Pat would like to coach in the B1G

Freeze became self-conscious of media reporting about his love of golf and tried to change the narrative, but, as Talty writes, “he still couldn’t help himself.”

Hugh Freeze became self-conscious of the media reporting about his love of golf after Lane Kiffin went on-brand and openly mocked Hugh Freeze for focusing more on golf than coaching football:

BREAKING: Luke Fickell to return in 2026, AD says
man I feel bad for Wisconsin fans. 

does anyone really think Fickell is going to suddenly break through in year 4? The schedule gets easier but they are probably staring 6-6 or 7-5 in the face in Year 4 after going 3-9 or 2-10 in Year 3. he'd need to really flip the script and get 11 wins and make the playoff in 2026, and does anyone think that is a real possibility?

Year 1: 7-6
Year 2: 5-7
Year 3: 2-10 or 3-9

And if Year 4 goes 6-6 or 7-5 is this what they paid all that money to get him for after 4 years? cause I don't think it is....

Every year it goes down by $7 Million.

They will lose 20K season ticket holders, their parking fees, and the merchandise and beer/food they buy.

Season tickets are around $1200 with the "donation" and fees required.

That's $24 Million in tickets alone.

Maybe that will get someone's attention up on the Hill in the ivory tower.

Oh, and I should mention that high school student applications to Wisconsin are down...

What's one way of checking whether your coach is on the Hot Seat? If his name is followed by the word "buyout" in the top suggested google search.

Great Post applications are fewer in a lot of places because of the economy,drop in H.S.graduations and more entering trade schools

Global schools like Wisconsin are generally immune to this.

Or when they make a grandiose announcement that he is coming back for another year, when he is already under contract to come back another year.
