Wisconsin hiring an Offense-first head coach in Fickell

Purdue hiring a Defense-first head coach in Walters………

Two AD mis-hires

Fickell was a DC at Ohio State but most of us don't think of him this way because of his Buckeye background. On r/CFB, take with a grain salt, the Cincy flairs complained that their OC under Fickell was notoriously conservative.

Ironically both Walters and Fickell were the DC who hired Air Raid family OCs and unlike Bob Stoops, they failed at it.

Personally Wisconsin is turning to 2000s Nebraska.

Very much hope Jacas isn't transferring. Even though the result is the same as going to the NFL (tbh, feels like a transfer might be more likely than NFL for him but never know), losing one of your best players to the portal would symbolize much more of a negative sign. You have to keep your best players out of the portal. Should be priority one every year. If you can't... really shows poor status in the $$$ world and a negative sign moving forward. Plagued Purdon't pretty bad.

I agree, Jacas transferring would very much signal a pure dollar grab that we couldn’t meet which would be very disappointing. it’s rare you see someone with NFL aspirations that thrived in a program/scheme transfer for his senior year- too much risk that you hurt your NFL chances which is the real payday

Having him back would be huge to say the least but I think he’s gone to the NFL

But i thought Henderson would be the starter?

Winfield is probably better than Henderson right now and we need depth along the OL- remember it’s BB’s job to find someone better than Brandon and it’s Brandon’s job to make sure he can’t

Wingfield has a lot of starts under his belt and was great at New Mexico- it’s hard to judge him from the Purdue dumpster fire last year- it’s a great sign that JC is recruiting him here though
