<\/p>\n

Fickell, 49, comes to the Badgers from Cincinnati, where he compiled a 57-18 overall record, including a 13-1 mark in 2021, which included a trip to the college football playoffs, leading the first-ever non-power-five program to the Final Four.<\/p>\n

Fickell brings Big Ten coaching and recruiting experience with him to Wisconsin. He coached at Ohio State from 2002-16 in various roles, including as its special teams coach, linebackers coach and co-defensive coordinator.
