Monday night had a surprise in store for Wisconsin, as a few different outlets were reporting that Michigan State was hiring away Badger running backs coach Devon Spalding. Which means that Luke Fickell, on the edge of the opening of the transfer portal, is not only looking for about 30+ starting-level players but also a new coach for his staff.
Wisconsin fans were quick to jump on X and share ideas for Luke Fickell to help him in the hiring process. The most common name among Badger Nation was James White, who just left his position as assistant running backs coach at Illinois to be the Benet Academy Head football coach.
