Luke Fickell, head coach of the Wisconsin Badgers, has been ranked at No. 5 in CBS Sports’ Big Ten head coach rankings for the upcoming 2024 season. This ranking is a testament to Fickell’s successful track record and ability to lead his team to success.
Recruiting has been on the rise since Fickell’s arrival, with UW’s 2025 cycle ranking No. 16 in the nation by 247Sports. The class includes six blue-chip players and an average player rating of 88.29, indicating that Fickell is building a strong foundation for the future of the program.
Fickell is heading into his second full season as head coach of the Badgers, hoping to build on the success of the previous season where they finished with a 7-6 record and their 22nd straight bowl appearance. The upcoming season will be challenging, with tough opponents like Alabama, Oregon, Penn State, USC, Iowa, and Nebraska on their schedule. Their schedule is ranked as the 24th-toughest in the nation according to ESPN FPI.
Despite these challenges, Fickell remains confident in his ability to lead the Badgers to success in the future. Fornelli had positive things to say about Fickell, acknowledging that changing a program’s identity takes time. However, with Fickell’s successful track record, including guiding Cincinnati to the College Football Playoff, there is confidence in his ability to lead Wisconsin to greatness.
