It didn’t take long for Badgers fans to miss Jim Leonhard.

As folks in Wisconsin adjust to life with Luke Fickell, they watched their beloved team fall behind to Washington State 24-9 at the half on Saturday and eventually lose to the Cougars despite a late comeback attempt.

“What a coaching/ play calling disaster… that’s all. Badgers looked like unprepared high schoolers,” a fan tagged Wisconsin. “Is Jim Leonhard still available?”

“Badgers under Paul Chryst last year: Lost to Washington State by 3. … Badgers under Luke Fickell this year: Lost to Washington State by 9. … Should’ve kept Jim Leonhard,” a local sports director replied.
