When Michigan St offered, that was still a program who had to play Michigan, Ohio St, & Penn St every year. Wisconsin will only be playing each of those teams in 50% of years, which makes it easier for Fickell.

It may come down to who he has coming back next year. If he sees next year as a 9 win or less season, he might want to leave this year even though it's not ND or tOSU.

Taking the Wisconsin job lowers his chances of getting the tOSU gig. I think he passes.

Why does it lower his chances of getting the Ohio State gig?

Yeah - that argument has never made sense to me. In the past year, LSU hired away Notre Dame’s coach and USC hired away Oklahoma’s coach. That should pretty much tell you that absolutely no one is untouchable even if they’re at the most elite programs. If anything, leading a Big Ten program successfully is *exactly* the resume that Ohio State would want in a new coach.
