Luke Fickell. Feels like a decent hire. fickell did a great job at Cincy. I'm kind of surprised he'd leave. I agree that he seems like a good hire

I agree that he seems like a good hire All the talk from local media/insiders was Jimmy would be named Sunday or Monday. Somebody played them like a fiddle. Feel bad for him but I'm excited about some new ideas and hopefully some creativity for a change. Fickell is pretty well regarded. National media seems to think it's a home run hire. Didn't think we'd pony up the cash to pay anyone. Now we'll see if they make other changes (NIL, admissions) to see how serious they really are.

Can't complain about the UW being cheap anymore. Fickell to make just shy of $8 mil per year.

I was so excited when Mertz came to the UW. His first game as a starter he was incredible. After that? What happened? Time to move on for both.

Well, sounds like we have some options next year at QB with the transfer of Evers and signing Lacrue. Will be interesting to see how the holdovers do in the bowl game tonight. Not sure who is starting Burkett? Or Wolf? I’m hoping Burkett. Let’s see what the Freshman can do.

Now we have a QB room with Mordecai and Mettauer in '24. Quite the change from 4 weeks ago. Add a couple quality WR's and lineman and might not need a rebuild year.

Mordecai could be a game changer, but he needs someone to throw to. Definitely, need to work on the WR corps.

Sounds like another commitment incoming. Hoping it's one of the visiting WR.

Add another 4* QB. Unbelievable how much the QB room has transformed in a month. Now we just need a couple WR's and we're set. Probably adding two more commits today yet. I'm thinking a Kicker and hopefully a WR. These guys mean business. Makes you wonder WTF Chryst was doing the last 5 years.

Pretty sure I was saying fire Paul Chryst a number of years ago The guy just wasn't able to recruit top level talent.
