No one would argue that Luke Fickell hasn't lived up to expectations at Wisconsin, not even Fickell himself. In fact, his latest press conference at Big Ten Media Days, Fickell said, "Last year was not the standard, that's not the expectation, and not the reason I was brought here." And there are many pointing to a variety of reasons why he's struggling with the Badgers, but one college football writer says it's because an elite group of assistants propped up his success at Cincinnati.
The point originally came from a social media comment by "College Football Watcher" but was platformed by Joel Scheve over at CincyOnTheProwl.
