Longtime NFL coach to join Luke Fickell’s staff at Wisconsin

It takes a village to create a winning college football program, which makes hiring more than just a head coach important.

Everyone from the coordinators to even the gameday staff can make a difference between winning and losing. And they certainly can make a difference in the culture of a winning program.

That’s exactly what Luke Fickell is trying to build at Wisconsin. That may be why he decided to bring in an advisor who knows a few things about high-level football: Longtime NFL coach Jack Del Rio. This according to The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman, who hears that Del Rio will advise Fickell on both sides of the football.
