He is a proven winner, recruiter and developer of players. Equally as important, he shares our values. Coach Fickell is focused on giving our student-athletes the best opportunities possible and is &#8220;I have every confidence that he will respect and honor the foundation that has been set for our football program over the years while embracing the exciting opportunities ahead.&#8221;<\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The UW Board of Regents on Sunday approved Fickell&#8217;s contract.  The details of that contract were not immediately available.  Fickell was set to make $5 million this season, his sixth at Cincinnati.  A source told the Journal Sentinel that UW officials were willing to pay at least $6 million per year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;My family and I are thrilled to join the Wisconsin family,&#8221; Fickell said in a release.  &#8220;This is a destination job at a program that I have admired from afar for years. I am in total alignment with Chris McIntosh&#8217;s vision for this program.<\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;There is a tremendous foundation here that I can&#8217;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&#8217;t wait to be a part of it. &#8220;<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Sources previously told the Journal Sentinel that McIntosh&#8217;s list of candidates was interim head coach Jim Leonhard, Baylor head coach Dave Aranda, Kansas head coach Lance Leipold and Fickell.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_anc\" id=\"gnt_atomsnc\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-method=\"loadAnc\" aria-label=\"Newsletter signup form\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Fickell, 49, had told UW officials he was not interested in the opening.  However, multiple reports emerged Sunday morning suggesting UW had decided to pursue Fickell again to replace Paul Chryst, who was fired on Oct.  2.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Leonhard, 40, had publicly expressed his desire to take over as full-time head coach.  A source close to the UW program said Sunday Leonhard was blindsided and devastated by the news.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_fo__bet-best\" aria-label=\"Scores and odds from Tipico\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-type=\"comment\"><!--@pre<iframe class=gnt_em_fo_if src=\"\/tangfrag\/sports\/gaming\/bet-best?prm-embedded&prm-teamid=2219&prm-gnteamid=111&prm-league=NCAAF#fhp-assetid=69680209007\" loading=lazy sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-forms\" title=\"Scores and odds from Tipico\"><\/iframe>--><\/aside>\n<figure class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_img\"><img class=\"gnt_em_img_i\" style=\"height:441px\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-src=\"https:\/\/www.gannett-cdn.com\/media\/2022\/11\/27\/USATODAY\/usatsports\/2a83aac5af6a4178b4dd567bb42cd256.jpg?width=660&amp;height=441&amp;fit=crop&amp;format=pjpg&amp;auto=webp\" data-gl-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gannett-cdn.com\/media\/2022\/11\/27\/USATODAY\/usatsports\/2a83aac5af6a4178b4dd567bb42cd256.jpg?width=1320&amp;height=882&amp;fit=crop&amp;format=pjpg&amp;auto=webp 2x\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Luke Fickell has compiled a record of 57-18 in six seasons with the Cincinnati Bearcats.

During that time, their averages were 17.3 points per game allowed, No.  3 nationally;  and 284.8 yards per game allowed, the No.  1 mark nationally.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">His 2017 defense finished No.  2 nationally in total yards allowed (262.1 ypg), third in scoring defense (13.9 ppg), third in rushing defense (98.4 ypg) and No.  1 in pass efficiency defense (96.4 rating).<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">UW history defeated Miami in the Orange Bowl to finish 13-1 that season, the most successful season in program.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">His 2019 defense posted four shutouts, making UW the first Big Ten team to achieve that feat since 1962. UW lost to Oregon in the Rose Bowl to finish 10-4.<\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Fickell led the Bearcats to the College Football Playoff in 2021 and thus became the first coach of a Group of 5 team to reach the playoff.  He has compiled a 57-18 overall record with the Bearcats.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Cincinnati finished 13-1 last season to Alabama, 27-6, in the Cotton Bowl.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Fickell was received eight awards as national coach of the year las season.  Those included the Home Depot National Coach of the Year, Paul &#8220;Bear&#8221; Bryant Coach of the Year, the Stallings Award, the Eddie Robinson Award and the Dodd Trophy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Bearcats finished 6-2 in the American Athletic Conference this season and are 9-3 overall.  They played two Power 5 foes.  They opened the season with a 31-24 loss to Arkansas of the Southeastern Conference and recorded a 45-24 victory over Indiana.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Fickell, a native of Columbus, Ohio, played for Ohio State from 1993-96 and coached there from 2002-16.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">He served as interim head coach in 2011 and saw the Buckeyes upset UW in Columbus.  The Buckeyes finished 3-5 in the Big Ten and 6-7 overall that season and Urban Meyer was hired as head coach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Fickell stayed on the Buckeyes&#8217; staff through the 2016 season before taking over the Cincinnati program.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Aranda, UW&#8217;s defensive coordinator from 2013-15, was intrigued by the idea of \u200b\u200brunning UW&#8217;s program but is happy at Baylor.  Leipold, a graduate assistant at UW from 1991-93 who had won at UW-Whitewater, Buffalo and at Kansas, was not offered the UW job.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;I am thrilled with our hire of Luke Fickell as the head football coach of the Badgers,&#8221; UW Chancellor Jennifer L. Mnookin said in a release.  &#8220;He is a transformative hire for our program. &#8220;In addition to the success he has already experienced as National Coach of the Year in 2021 and steering a team into the College Football Playoff, he shares our values \u200b\u200band appreciates the importance of the college experience for our student-athletes.  &#8220;I am excited to see him help us build from our already solid foundation to reach even greater heights.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MADISON \u2013 Luke Fickell, who starred at Ohio State, later coached there and has developed Cincinnati into one of the better Group of 5 programs in the country, is Wisconsin&#8217;s new head football coach. &#8220;I am incredibly excited to announce Luke Fickell as our new head football coach and to welcome his entire family to &hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"> <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/harchi90.com\/wisconsin-set-to-hire-cincinnatis-luke-fickell-as-next-football-coach\/\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Wisconsin set to hire Cincinnati&#8217;s Luke Fickell as next football coach<\/span> Read More &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.10 -
