MADISON — Less than 24 hours after the Badgers' loss to Oregon, head coach Luke Fickell announced in a release the team's offensive coordinator and quarterback coach Phil Longo was "relieved of his duties."
"After continuing to evaluate the program, I decided we are not were we need to be and believe this decision is in the best interest of the team," Fickell said in the release. "I appreciate Phil's commitment to helping us build our program the past two seasons and wish him well moving forward."
Fickell also recognized there are still many games ahead and expressed his commitment to bringing home a successful season.
