Wisconsin Fires Offensive Coordinator Phil Longo After 16-13 Loss to Oregon
Head Coach Luke Fickell cites leadership changes as the reason for Longo's dismissal with two games remaining.
- Phil Longo was dismissed following Wisconsin's third consecutive loss, leaving the team with a 5-5 record this season.
- Wisconsin's offense ranks 97th nationally in scoring, averaging 23.9 points per game, and has struggled with consistency.
- Quarterback Braedyn Locke has faced challenges, throwing nine touchdowns and nine interceptions since taking over after Tyler Van Dyke's injury.
- No interim offensive coordinator has been announced, but wide receivers coach Kenny Guiton will assist with quarterbacks.
- Wisconsin aims to secure bowl eligibility with upcoming games against Nebraska and Minnesota, needing one more win.
