Reality escapes most sports fans who apply no logic to their emotion. If the university spends millions firing their coach and AD, and millions recruiting and hiring replacements, where will that money come from? They will not replace the monies lost with additional ticket sales. It’s ludicrous. Wisconsin doesn’t have the dough SEC schools have. I don’t see these Badger fans donating large sums to the university. They enjoy rattling sabers, but their complaining has no substance.
Why is he waiting until now to decide the program needs more investment? Should happened several years ago. Good luck getting donors to pony up now with the product on the field being crap. Jettison McIntosh too. So many fuckups from coaches creating toxic cultures, the fiasco with not including track and cross country teams in plans for new practice facility to the missed hire of Fickell and just now figuring out the football program needs more money.
This was a well thought out analysis and a beautifully written piece of sports journalism. Bravo! You described the reality and firing Fickell will not change that narrative.
No, it won’t. Wisconsin can’t afford firing either one. That will simply put the university further behind the other schools in this era of pay for play. Instead of calling for firings, donate 100 million to the university, and then they’ll be able to get rid of the coach and AD
They cant afford not to fire Ficjell at least. Attendance is tanking, recruits are renewing on their commitments and this will affect donations and season tickets,next year if Fickell stays. They cant afford to not fire Fickell and McIntosh is,a fuckup. From the toxic program culture he,alliwed to continue to his not including the track abd cross country teams in the new indoor practice facility. Those programs,have successful coaches-aja nit hired by McIntosh

Fire Macintosh
Chryst was a proven head coach in the old world. The program was decaying under him in the new world.

I wonder how much money all the people clamoring for the firing of Fickell have donated. I put my money where my mouth is. Have you?

Firing McIntosh will.
