After a number of reports, Wisconsin football has made it official. Former Cincinnati head coach Luke Fickell is now Wisconsin’s head football coach.
βI am incredibly excited to announce Luke Fickell as our new head football coach and to welcome his entire family to Madison,β Wisconsin athletic director Chris McIntosh said in a press release. βLuke is one of the top football coaches in the country. 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 attuned to the changing landscape of college athletics.
Fickell is coming off a tremendous run at Cincinnati where he put together back-to-back 11-win campaigns.
In 2021, he led the Bearcats to the greatest season in school history, leading them to an appearance in the College Football Playoff Semifinals at the Cotton Bowl and the first 13-0 regular-season record in Bearcat history.
