It has not yet translated to wins on the field, but Wisconsin football head coach Luke Fickell believes his team is moving in the right direction. “Internally, we are seeing a growth; it’s a little bit harder to see externally,” Fickell said two-thirds of the way through his third season at the helm of the Badgers.
Week-to-week, month-to-month, season-to-season, that internal growth has not shown up. Now, staring down the barrel of a disastrous season in terms of wins and losses, statistical production, and to generate buy-in among a fanbase longing for something to cling to, Fickell is considering a change at quarterback.
