Fickell Adapts After McIntosh's Departure

On April 16th Wisconsin Badger's coach Luke Fickle relied heavily on athletic director Chris McIntosh as a keybacker during his time leading the program.

McIntosh just stepped down to join the Big Ten office, leaving Fickle with years left on his contract and some uncertainty ahead for the football team.

The move came after McIntosh resigned, and the Badgers quickly tapped Marcus Sedbury as their interim athletic director to fill the gap.

Fickle got real about the personal side during his media session on April 14th, calling it tough to lose a close ally who always had his back.

He admitted it's disappointing when a strong supporter like McIntosh heads out but stressed the need to adapt, chat with the new folks like Sedbury, and keep pushing forward.

With changes at the top, eyes are on how Fickle navigates this shift and steers the Badgers through whatever comes next.
