Former Wisconsin DB hints Luke Fickell is Brian Kelly 2.0 in this concerning area

Recently fired LSU coach Brian Kelly has been slammed in the media lately for his treatment of former players. Not allowing them around, speaking to the players, and all sorts of other poor relations. Many former players have spoken openly and honestly about this fact. Now, a former Badger is speaking out against Luke Fickell with a similar concern.

According to Collin Wilder, who played for Wisconsin from 2016 to 2021, Fickell doesn't reach out to former players, and his staff acts weird about them being around practices and the facility. He joined ESPN Madison, and the full interview is worth a listen, but he is concerned about that part of Fickell's coaching.
