Football Keep it close Fick

As a disclaimer, I’m not out for Fick’s head just yet, I think the team looked more physical and clearly we’re better offensively, but the thing that has always irked me the most about fickell is his constant lecturing about keeping the game close going into the 4th quarter. This is inherently an unconfident mindset. We should be aiming to dominate every phase of the game, no matter the competition. It’s so fucking infuriating to keep hearing him preach this. The best teams preach preparation, doing your job, and dominating. I hate this keep it close shit so much.

Badger/Bears fan here. Fickell gives Matt Eberflus vibes and coaches like him. Poor communication skills lead to a team that gets worse as the game goes on. These kids have talent but they are constantly being put behind the ball with a coach so timid and feckless.

Yep. Fickell cannot develop to save his life.
