  • Ep. 18: Wisconsin Badgers QB and WR Coach + Transfer Portal Moves, Ben Brust Joins! - 1.7.25
    Jan 7 2025
    The Wisconsin Badgers continue to re-shape their coaching staff this offseason, moving Kenny Guiton to QB coach and reportedly hiring Western Michigan's Jordan Reid as the new WR coach. Plus, the team is adding more defensive reinforcements through the transfer portal.

Also, ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg put Luke Fickell in his list Way-too-early 2025 college football coaching hot seat tiers, but why is Jim Rutledge confident that Luke Fickell is still more likely to be successful than his peer Bret Bielema at Illinois. Ben Brust joins Jim Rutledge on The Jump Around to talk Badger men's basketball bouncing back in their first two games of their Big Ten schedule, why skeptical fans like Jim Rutledge should be excited about this year's team, and who "the guy" is between John Tonje and John Blackwell, and he explains if any of the Badger football program's transfer portal and coaching changes have eased his frustrations heading into Luke Fickell's third season.
