In a surprising turn of events, Wisconsin’s football program announced that offensive coordinator Phil Longo would no longer be a part of the team following a disappointing loss to No. 1 Oregon. The departure of Longo has left players shocked and uncertain about the future of the team, especially with only two games remaining in the regular season. The Badgers (5-5, 3-4 Big Ten) are hoping to bounce back from a three-game losing streak and secure a bowl game appearance for the 23rd consecutive season.
With Longo out, tight ends coach Nate Letton will call plays, and wide receivers coach Kenny Guiton will help signal plays from the sideline. Players are rallying together to face the challenge of facing Nebraska and Minnesota in their final games. Despite a struggling offense, players remain optimistic and motivated to finish the season strong.
Head coach Luke Fickell, who has faced criticism for the team’s performance, emphasized the importance of belief and trust in the program moving forward. Players are encouraged to have faith in the system and leadership in place, even during difficult times. Fickell’s track record as a head coach, along with the support from the team, provides hope that Wisconsin can turn things around and finish the season on a high note. As the team prepares to face Nebraska, they are determined to show resilience and prove their potential under Fickell’s guidance.
