Look at Luke Fickell. Tall, confident, polished and completely underwhelmed by all of it. A guy who knows what he knows, quietly. Moms: How could you look at this 6-foot-4 man in your living room, who has a face like a Midwestern summer sunrise, and not think, “This guy’s gonna take good care of my boy?"
Fickell and his new staff did an amazing job. This is what we hear. Fickell & Co. had all of two-plus weeks to reassure recruits, recruit new recruits, convince recruits to stay (or go) schmooze local high school coaches and sell a vision.
