Best case? 26&27 provide much easier schedules & as Fickell's recruits become upperclassmen that the overall roster improves, then they can use the portal to just fill holes rather than the whole roster. And fwiw I'm not pro or anti Fickell, I think the issues facing Wisconsin might go beyond him

I agree wholeheartedly they go beyond him. I think we’re trying to do Alabama things without Alabama NIL money. My hope is we get someone who understands and accepts the limitations we have and try to build with that in mind. I.E. what Illinois or Indiana or what Wisconsin used to do

Thats ideal but that takes times. Bielema struggled in the crappy Big Ten west his first few years before turning it around in his 4th year. That type of roster building takes patience

I’d be fully on board with that kind of roster reset tbh. Just to feel like we’re moving forward
