Wisconsin made the decision to move on from offensive coordinator Phil Longo on Sunday afternoon, instituting a major change with just two games left in the season. The Badgers need at least one more win to extend their streak of 22 straight seasons with a bowl game.

The offense has been held to 13 or fewer points in its last three games (all losses) and quarterback Braedyn Locke has struggled after the Badgers lost starting signal-caller Tyler Van Dyke due to a knee injury in a 42-10 defeat to then-No. 4 Alabama.

After their upset bid over No. 1 Oregon came up short, Luke Fickell and the Wisconsin football team decided to fire offensive coordinator Phil Longo. After leading successful offenses at North Carolina with Sam Howell and Drake Maye at quarterback, there was hope he could do the same with the Badgers.
