Yep, Longo is done only a formality at this point. This system requires the QB to be a weapon with his legs or his arm or both, he has developed nothing from the QB position to beat anything other than below .500 teams. Irony, even the games we won it ended being a power running game that was key to the win. Longo refuses to use an H-Back/Fullback the whole game ... Fuk him, HE GONE !
Offensive and defensive lines are terrible. Against good teams they get utterly dominated. Locke is a game killer and doesn’t need to play at UW ever again. 4th and Longo can drive the bus out of town w/ Locke. Tressel not loading up the box after the Hawkeyes ran over them in the first half was criminal.
@@raybrown2771 Not loading the box in the first half was a big miss. They have the second leading rusher in the country and their 5th string qb making his first start. I could have told you they were going to run the ball almost every play going into the game.
Remember the last few weeks when the media and even fans thought we were on the right track after beating Rutgers, Northwestern, and Purdue? I guess that's the bar now.
those teams are ass they aren't USC Bama Iowa Penn State Oregon Fickell was brought in to beat those teams besides OSU and Michigan.Any team with some pulse Fickell has not gotten it done vs those teams its frustrating to watch.
To be fair, people weren’t hyped because we beat those teams. People were excited because we dismantled Purdue and Rutgers and we haven’t done that in awhile.
How many of the non-seniors are looking to hit the portal? How many commitments for the next couple of years might change their minds? I am as big of a Badger fan as anybody. I've had season tickets for 30 years. But, my hopes as a Badger fan are dwindling quickly. In this new era of college football, this football we are seeing is not good enough. I'm really afraid I may have seen the best of Badger football and it is all in the past. The future just doesn't look to bright. But, I still hope.
Watching this guy sit here with no answers and a gobsmacked look on his face spewing old football cliches is sickening!! C’mon man I watched that game, as fan I could give you five things to improve on…… no coach should ever say I don’t know what we could have done
Defense has honestly been good for the most part. The D line is very much a personnel problem right now, and the offense not being able to put together sustained drives is wearing out our defense. Longo is a much bigger problem than Tressel. Last night looks much different if our offense could stay on the field
@liammccarthy9388 no. Doesn't matter how bad our offense gets, we should NEVER give up over 300 rushing yards to ANYONE. Our defense was top 5 nationally every damn year when we ran our 3-4 defense. Dave Aranda started it back in like 2012 and from that moment till tressel got here it was elite. Always reloaded and never had to rebuild. Now? It's nothing like that. Our defense has looked good at times, especially against the pass but our run defense sucks and that should NEVER happen for a wisconsin team.
Another new low for this program. Embarrassing isn’t a strong enough word for how bad that game was. We don’t believe in you coach, your players don’t believe in you.
What is possibly the reasoning behind continuing to play Brandon Locke at QB? He doesn’t see the field, he just doesn’t have a feel for the rush, misses seeing receivers, throws into coverage. Good players don’t hear the crowd once the game begins, they might hear them all night after the game! The play calling is horrific & that falls on the Offensive Coordinator. Penalties⁉️ Sorry, this team is pathetic
Wisconsin isn't any better. They've shown that if they go against a better team, they'll flop. This team needs a different QB. They need a real runner, and my goodness, they have to fix defense. They are not doing jack shit.
Defense isn’t even close to the biggest issue! It’s hard to stop a team when the defense is on the field for 80% of the game… and the offense consistently has 3 and outs…. Offense needs to help the defense out and keep opposing offenses off of the field
"Luke Fikkel is the answer!" I guess they were asking the wrong question... I said when they announced hiring him that if Cincinnati was really serious keeping him, they would have found the money. Instead, they send Wisconsin a "thank you" card. They didn't have to fire him and pay a buy-out.
@@Captain_Bad_Bill You do realize he was only at Cincinnati for 1 season after they made the CFP right? And he lost a bunch of great players to the NFL….. Then he came to Wisconsin last season, and this is his 2nd year at Wisconsin….
It would be acceptable if Fickell wasn’t making $7 million per year. Everyone would understand if he was making say… $65,000 per year. The players are good enough. Coaching is to blame. The AD should be ashamed of his misuse of funds
22 consecutive bowl games. Gonna came to an end this year. We now are in the category of Purdue, Northwestern, Rutgers, Maryland. Luke has brought this program going in the wrong direction.
Those teams you referenced all have one or zero big ten wins. We are 3-3. Not saying that’s acceptable but we aren’t bottom of the big ten yet. But I agree we are headed in the wrong direction.
Tbh we were already on that track the last few years with chyrst. Our offense was actually worse those years so I'm not to hard on the offense yet BUT our god damn defense is nothing like it used to be. From 2012 to 2020 we were a top 5 defense nationally and a few times were ranked #1. We always reloaded on defense and never had to go through a rebuild year. Now tho? Idk wtf I'm watching. Our Dline and LBs are terrible compared to the years I just mentioned above. Idk what they are doing on defense but ITS NOT WORKING. When I heard we were changing our style I was excited because our offense was trash after Jonathan Taylor left but WHY did they change the defense???? We one of the best so why change it???
Cincinnati guy here.... Fickle had a great team at Cincy, the quality of players we will most likely never see again thanks to nil and the transfer portal. Luke up and left as soon as he knew the closet was bare, right after signing a contact extension. Good luck....
This transition is going to take time. WI is known for asking athletes for a long term commitment. With the portal and NIL in play, it makes navigating the landscape difficult. Have a hard time understanding why a 17 year old kid would commit to being in Madison in today’s environment.
it’s been 2 years and the play on the field has not gotten any better, that’s on the coaching staff. I have a feeling a lot of “teamwork!” gets preached but no one actually knows how to make players better. Passion is great, but passion without technicals and discipline will have the team looking like a bunch of a idiots running around the field. The schemes on both sides of the ball suck ass and the positional coaches aren’t good enough. The great coaches focus on the details and craft an extremely disciplined and detail oriented team that dominates the whole game. For some reason Fickell harps on winning the fourth quarter. I don’t think someone like Kirby Smart wants his team in a close game going into the fourth, he wants them to dominate the entire game. Obviously Georgia is at a different level, but that should be the mindset. We play small, we play like we’re not a physically dominant team that wants to crush the opposition
also, still wearing the T.E.A.M. vest? come on. This is division 1 Big Ten football, not JV ball. Having to use gimmicks like that is a loser mentality
ZERO memorable wins from Fickell in his two years so far. the team has fallen flat in every big game where they had many opportunities to win. that falls on the shoulders of then incompetent coaching staff
Absolutely Pathetic! I couldn't even watch this garbage, had to turn it off. Locke is total trash. He throws the worst picks I have ever seen. Everything is trash. OLine DLine Entire units. WR all bad. Looked to even Lack Effort.
we thought DLine was the biggest area of need. But this receiver room stinks which stifles the run game. Fickell needs to be brutally honest putting Longo squarely on the hot seat!!!
Third loss in a row to Iowa. In all three games the opposing QB hasn't thrown for 100 passing yards. We allowed 350yds on the ground. Worst loss against Iowa since the 1960s. Vs Alabama, USC, Penn State, and Iowa - Wisconsin has been outscored in the 2nd half a combined 98-17. I didn't watch a second of this Iowa game, and only watched the first series against Penn State. Wisconsin since 2020 has been a travesty. The team sucks, and I will no longer be watching or buying.
Teach the damn kid to put some touch on the ball. Omg! Plain and simple, these kids are some of the best in the nation. Coaching decision making, horrendous!
Well we have an opportunity with our off week to make some serios changes. 1st put the 6'-4 freshman QB in for the last 3 games. Locke has had a least 1 ball tipped in each game as well as at least 1-2 interceptions/game. Let some one else call the plays as our present OC still wants to throw the ball. The 3 games we won was by running even if the opposition wasn't very good. With as big as our front line is they sure couldn't open holes for our backs. We should have never let Jim Leonard go, he was always in the top 5 for most of his tenure. I think we need to make a change at Athletic Director and Head coach for next year. We will probably lose most of our good players at the end of the year to the portal, and I see where we are already losing some of our future recruits.
I bailed out of watching after the Iowa scored immediately once they had the ball in 3rd quarter. It is embarrassing and disappointing this once strong and competitive program is so lack luster and mediocre. I think the coaching staff has 'lost' the players, and especially when Locke throws picks (every game so far) and puts his team in a hole. Not not one team player has any confidence in Locke with his performance since being put in. Seems the players have given up. This is like when Hornibrook also lost the team several years ago, Chryst stayed with him, and ultimately got fired. And, WI has no other QB to even turn to. It is a dumpster fire, flaming mess. What recruit would even consider coming there? Sorry state of affairs. McIntosh better figure something out.
Total karma for pushing Paul Chryst out. He was a great coach who only had 1 really bad season. Luke Fickell is a 3rd rate coach who failed miserably at osu and is now doing the same at Wisconsin!
No, Chryst had a golden opportunity to lift this program up another level with recruiting and completely failed to do so. To have a decade as good as we did in the 2010s and completely whiff on recruiting was a colossal failure. We had to move on. However we made a huge mistake trying to change the offense this much, all we needed was to find a dual threat qb to supplement the run. That’s all we needed, a leg up in recruiting and a qb.
no chryst was dan mullen 2.0 he hated to recruit, chryst had a program that was top 10 in the 2010's and did nothing to gain momentum despite winning a lot on the field into recruiting well every year.AD also was a problem and Wisconsin incompetent admin did nothing into new facilities building staff renovation for stadium and recruiting budgets bigger staffs and more money for staffs spent like bottom level p5 when they had top 10- 15 finances.Wisconsin was behind the times even before NIL.They weren't like Oregon into innovating and getting better despite being a great program winning and playing in big bowls often they became apathy and it cost them and when they noticed its too late.
After hearing all the ridicule on here after I commented 2 years ago what a bad decision they made hiring him. I have to laugh each time they lose but i feel so sorry for the kids that are going through the last 2 seasons. McIntosh and Pickle both need to pack there bags and leave!
This was tough to listen to. Sounded like a dude 12 beers deep at the end of the bar telling everyone about how he had just caught his wife cheating on him. You lost a football game, coach. Show some professionalism and keep those thoughts just in your head and maybe you will be able to rebuild the team you just betrayed.
Embarrassing. Been a fan for 20 years and this is the worst loss I can remember. Out recruited. Out schemed. Out classed. Discipline? Fickell, you don’t know what that means. I’ve heard you bark about it since you got here, and your team is a bunch of brainless blood sacks doing everything in their power to not play football. These are supposed to be SMART PLAYERS, why are you running the most simple schemes I HAVE EVER SEEN. You preach “discipline” and “hard work”, but what is it? It’s habits, it’s effort, it’s a regiment. You know what I see? I see a coach telling his players to do things and then giving them no actionable plan to achieve those things. A leader who won’t teach isn’t what I thought this new regime would be and I’m flabbergasted at how inept we looked. Paying money to watch this team is starting to get hard, and I’m laying most of the blame on the coaches. Players need to execute but Fickell does not have this team prepared for prime time games against real opponents. It’s sad. Not a single win vs a team even remotely on our supposed level. “I’ll never apologize for a win” ahh
The moment they punted from midfield on 4th and 2 was the moment they basically gave up on the game. I get it, nothing else was going right, but that was an asinine decision.
Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving fan base. Good decision to bring in a guy that immediately said that they want to air the ball out. Hopefully fickell sends the badgers to pre Alvarez times
Man this loss was pathetic. I know we don't have much of a defensive line, but you gotta stop the run and make them throw. Offense was just as bad though. The coaches gotta fix this.
The Badgers football program has been mediocre for at least 5 years. The Athletic Department has been horrible even longer. To not make a change with the Athletic Director first, nothing will change, still be mediocre. I am sure the football team will get one more win for a bowl game and everyone will say wait until next year.
absolutely embarrassing

Dear Coach, fire Longo or be fired
This transition is going to take time. WI is known for asking athletes for a long term commitment. With the portal and NIL in play, it makes navigating the landscape difficult. Have a hard time understanding why a 17 year old kid would commit to being in Madison in today’s environment.
Tell that to Vanderbilt
@ Vanderbilt likely has a strategy around dealing with the portal and NIL. Plus, I’m sure a young man could be swayed to Nashville easily.

You know what I see? I see a coach telling his players to do things and then giving them no actionable plan to achieve those things. A leader who won’t teach isn’t what I thought this new regime would be and I’m flabbergasted at how inept we looked. Paying money to watch this team is starting to get hard, and I’m laying most of the blame on the coaches. Players need to execute but Fickell does not have this team prepared for prime time games against real opponents. It’s sad. Not a single win vs a team even remotely on our supposed level. “I’ll never apologize for a win” ahh
Time to move on. Let him go.
I O W A Thanks for making my Saturday night enjoyable :) Go Hawks
Time for a new coach
He's not playing Big 10 Football. We're definitely taking a step back from Christ... who was terrible.
Figure it out or go.
Yo ... you just found out what you are made of
The moment they punted from midfield on 4th and 2 was the moment they basically gave up on the game. I get it, nothing else was going right, but that was an asinine decision.
Please bring back Bilema!
Never!
Fickell needs to go. He's a poor coach. He was over hyped.
100% agree
Make em hitchhike back to Madison
Fickell isn't a good coach
Gosh dang that was bad. Ugh
What a bunch of candy ass quitters
Nothing else to say really
BULL dozed hahaha Iowa Hawkeyes took them to the woodshed.
Go Hawks
SEASON OVER. Forfeit the rest. Save everyones time
Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving fan base. Good decision to bring in a guy that immediately said that they want to air the ball out. Hopefully fickell sends the badgers to pre Alvarez times
I seem to remember a coach named Gary Anderson from then Idaho or someplace that tried this and failed miserably
And…cue the PJ-loving troll 😂
Horrible game.
Listen we all make mistakes, just get on the phone with Paul Chryst and beg forgiveness and lets get back to Wisconsin football
Go Iowa
Get out of here
@@AF28-f1f😂😂😂 bad week for Wisconsin after Green Bay gets rail roaded today
Man this loss was pathetic. I know we don't have much of a defensive line, but you gotta stop the run and make them throw. Offense was just as bad though. The coaches gotta fix this.
The Badgers football program has been mediocre for at least 5 years. The Athletic Department has been horrible even longer. To not make a change with the Athletic Director first, nothing will change, still be mediocre. I am sure the football team will get one more win for a bowl game and everyone will say wait until next year.
Pickell Dickell should take the bus back to Cincy. Take the team with.
Team play terrible game, we can still beat Nebraska and Minnesota for bowl eligible but Not #1 Oregon
Get bent!
Go hawkeyes 11/2/2024 best game ever
On Iowa!
First off, Go HAWKEYES!!! But this dude Luke seems like he took this L personally. He will get y’all right Badgers. Don’t trip
Hawk fan here. I have always respected Badger football. I wouldn't give up on Fickel yet. He did well at Ohio St. and very successful at Cincy.
👍👍
Jim Leonhard is never coming back its time to move on from the hope that he would come back
