Head coach at Wisconsin. The show treats 2026 as the season where the schedule finally gives him a plausible path to a competent, job-saving record if the offense stabilizes. The Teeter Teams discussion turns that into an over-6.5 lean, with the caveat that the offense still has to prove it can reach basic decency.
