Wisconsin is looking to Cincinnati head coach Luke Fickell to fill its head coaching vacancy, although no deal has been agreed to yet, SI’s Ross Dellenger confirms. ESPN’s Pete Thamel was first to report the news.
Tom Oates of the Wisconsin State Journal, citing sources in the Badgers athletic department, confirms that Fickell will be the program’s next coach and reports that an official announcement is likely to come sometime Sunday.
Fickell was a longtime assistant at Ohio State, spending 15 years on the Buckeyes’ defensive coaching staff. In 2017, he left Columbus to take the Bearcats’ head coach position, where he has been for the past six seasons.
