Notre Dame Opponent Preview | Wisconsin

If there was a coaching hot board for a power program back in 2021, chances are that Luke Fickell was at the top of the list. He led Cincinnati to a 13-0 regular season and led them to the College Football Playoff.

That season also included his team beating Notre Dame on the road. That combined with his overall success and ties to the Midwest made him a no-brainer candidate for the Notre Dame job when it became open after Brian Kelly left.
