Wisconsin Badgers football hires a new ILB coach with Mark D'Onofrio, is the new staff better ? Jun 11, 2022

Show notes

Wisconsin Badgers football hired new ILBs coach Mark D'Onofrio, thoughts on why he's such a good hire and how the football staff with Paul Chryst is better than last year's staff.

We talk about the odd hiring philosophy on the offensive side and why they should maybe borrow a page from the defensive side of the ball.

I talk specifically about Mark D'Onofrio and his background and why I think he's such a good hire. Specifically, his background as a defensive coordinator at several different spots is a big deal.

For the last segment on Locked On Badgers we ask the question if the coaching staff is better this year than it was last year ? I give you four reasons why it is along with two areas of concern.

We rank all the Big Ten football coaches! Most overrated ? Why Ryan Day isn't a slam dunk number 1 ! Jun 08, 2022

Show notes

I rank every Big Ten football coach, why Scott Frost is last, why Jim Harbaugh from Michigan is underrated line up, how about PJ Fleck and why Ryan day and Ohio State might not be number one. Why Harbaugh is better than people think and where does Pat Fitzgerald rank.

We kick off the show with a discussion on Brett Bielema and why he needs to rebuild his stock, we talk about Scott Frost and why he's clearly the worst coach in the Big Ten right now and discuss the jobs that Tom Allen and Jeff Brohm have been doing.

In the middle segment of the show we discuss Mel Tucker and if he's a little too much hype right now, we get into Pat Fitzgerald and why I think he's the most overrated coach in the Big Ten. We also talk about how difficult it is to rank the coaches as the programs vary so much. In a rare moment for a Badgers fan, we give some PJ Fleck credit as well.

In the final segment on Locked On Badgers, we talk about the top group of coaches. Its James Franklin, Paul Chryst, Jim Harbaugh and Ryan Day. Ryan makes a case for Harbaugh as the best coach in the conference.

We also get into Keinholz's film more, and why he's an intriguing fit at quarterback. Finally Matt talks about how many commits he expects out of this group and settles on a pretty high number.
