Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell says he never expected to make a major staff change with the season still going on.Fickell didn’t go into details about why he changed course and fired Phil Longo as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.

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.

A large sum is owed to Phil Longo for his firing based on Contract details and information from Wisconsin athletic director Chris McIntosh.
