What do the Badgers need to do to steal a win in Columbus? Lets take a look at how Wisconsin will look to attack the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Can the Badgers cover as three score underdogs against the Buckeyes? Wisconsin has an opportunity to change that this week. One last look back at Saturday before we turn the page to Ohio State! The non-conference is over. How are we feeling about the Badgers through three weeks? While struggling to begin the season, the Aggies have two key players at the same position. What do the Badgers need to do to come away with a W against the Aggies?

Can the Badgers cover as massive favorites in week three? Cookie banner We use cookies and other tracking technologies to improve your browsing experience on our site, show personalized content and targeted ads, analyze site traffic, and understand where our audiences come from.

The former Ohio State assistant has turned down several major suitors during the past couple of seasons though, and he has gone on record about his preference to stay in Cincinnati.

If Chris McIntosh is adamant about finding an established head coach, Fickell would arguably be one of the top candidates based on his coaching ability. I am not sure that interest would be reciprocated at this time, however. Former Wisconsin defensive coordinator Dave Aranda is another sitting head coach that could receive a call from Chris McIntosh.

Aranda is an incredibly bright coach and is well respected across the coaching fraternity. A West coach guy, I am not sold that he would leave Baylor where there are recruiting advantages, but that does not mean there isn't a chance. The status of the Big 12 could open the door a bit for Aranda to consider leaving, but there is not a significant difference between going with Leonhard and choosing Aranda in many ways.

Doeren is older than many other options at 50 years old, but he was successful as a defensive coordinator in Madison. Doeren would not generate as much excitement as many of the other candidates, but he is an established option. I don't believe he is looking to leave, but his ties back to Wisconsin make him a possible name to at least know.

Kent State head coach Sean Lewis speaking with the referees while playing Georgia earlier this year. A former player at Wisconsin, Lewis has quickly risen through the coaching rankings. Known for his abilities as an offensive coordinator, he is someone that would undoubtedly be interested in the job. His overall record at Kent State is not overly flashy, but he is a tremendous young coach that will likely be a Power 5 coach at some point down the line. I am not sure that Chris McIntosh would make this move, but Lewis is a viable candidate based on his ties back to UW and early resume.

Coastal Carolina head coach Jamey Chadwell watching warmups against Army. All of his coaching experience has come in the Southeast, but Chadwell is a great offensive mind and has built a winning culture at Coastal Carolina since taking over there. Including , Chadwell has a record since , and his offenses have been some of the most explosive in the entire country.

The AP Coach of the Year, Chadwell brings a big personality and would certainly be a different voice for the program. Northern Illinois head coach Thomas Hammock standing on the sidelines versus Kentucky.

Another former assistant coach at Wisconsin, Northern Illinois head coach Thomas Hammock is someone to consider. Hammock helped lead some of the most prolific running backs in Wisconsin program history and led Northern Illinois to a MAC title last season. The Huskies are only so far this season, so it is unlikely, but Hammock is a gifted coach that his players rally around. Gary Cosby Jr. Once again, if Chris McIntosh is looking to spark the offense and is hoping for someone with head coaching experience, then Bill O'Brien is an option.

O'Brien is 52 years old and last coached in the Big Ten back in , but he could be the latest coach to rejuvenate his coaching career under Nick Saban.

I don't believe that this will be the move, but his name is out there for a reason, namely because he wants to be a head coach once again somewhere, and the Badgers have an opening. Washington State head coach Jake Dickert standing on the sidelines with his team. Another sitting head coach with ties back to the state of Wisconsin is Jake Dickert.

He played college football at UW-Stevens Point and actually helped lead the Cougars over the Badger earlier this season. He is a young coach that people respect in the industry.
