Luke Fickell who, after playing for the Buckeyes from 1993 to 1996, was a coach on the Ohio State football team’s staff from 2002 to 2016 in addition to being the team’s interim head coach in 2011. It became official on Monday that he will not face his former team on a regular basis in the near future.
Fickell, who is the current head coach at the University of Cincinnati, was rumored for the Michigan State head coaching job this past weekend. However, it was officially announced via the UC athletic department’s Twitter that Fickell will be staying with the Bearcats.
