A tweet went viral on Sunday morning highlighting the Cincinnati Bearcats head coaching vacancy when Luke Fickell decided to go to Wisconsin and be the next head coach of the Badgers.
Cincinnati Bearcats Athletic Director John Cunningham interviewed James Madison head coach Curt Cignetti for the job, who brought the Dukes to a 8-3 record in 2022 and a 11-2 record in 2023 before heading to Indiana. Cunningham opted to hire Louisville head coach Scott Satterfield because of his proven track record in the power 4. Cignetti was hired by Indiana ahead of the 2024 college football season and brought them to their first ever playoff on the way to winning College Football Head Coach of the Year.
