Wisconsin making push to hire Luke Fickell as coach

Sources close to Cincinnati’s program told The Athletic on Sunday that high-ranking administrators within the athletic department have been aware and prepared for the possibility of Fickell’s departure for a couple of weeks, with Nebraska and Wisconsin both showing interest. A source familiar with the negotiations also told The Athletic that Fickell’s wife, Amy, visited Madison, Wisc., this month to explore the Badgers’ interest in Fickell for the head coaching position.

Sources close to Cincinnati told The Athletic that Bearcats administrators have been in conversation with Fickell in recent weeks about what could be done to keep him at Cincinnati, including a willingness to increase the assistant salary pool among other things, but that when the Wisconsin offer ultimately came, Fickell felt this was the right time and situation for him to pursue.

FlaPack.... Chris M had this going for at least two weeks .. probably longer. All those clowns in Buckyville got it wrong, less 1.
