CINCINNATI — The Wisconsin Badgers are hiring UC head coach Luke Fickell to take their vacant head coaching job.

According to The Enquirer's Keith Jenkins, the "deal is done" and "he's coming."

The Badgers fired coach Paul Chryst earlier in the season, and there was a thought that interim head coach Jim Leonhard would have a good shot at the job.

Instead, Wisconsin is aiming bigger for the winningest coach in UC history.

UC now enters a coaching search ahead of a move to the Big 12 built largely because of Fickell's success in Clifton.
