Wisconsin Fires Offensive Coordinator and QB Coach Phil Longo After 16-13 Loss
Nov 17, 2024, 11:02 PM
Wisconsin has fired offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Phil Longo. The decision was announced by head coach Luke Fickell on Sunday, who stated that the move was made after evaluating the program and determining that changes were necessary for the team's best interest. This announcement follows Wisconsin's 16-13 loss to No. 1 Oregon, where the team struggled offensively, managing only 226 yards and 96 passing yards, with 43 on one play. Longo's tenure in Madison was marked by challenges, including difficulties in implementing the Air Raid offense. The firing also signifies Fickell's departure from two key hires on his initial staff, with Longo and offensive line coach Jack Bicknell Jr. both coming from North Carolina.
