They wouldn’t fire PC over losing to OSU. They just don’t care enough to beat elite Big Ten teams. All Wisconsin wants is consistency and bowl appearances. They like PC because he is loyal and won’t leave.
It would be too risky to find a better coach, have riskier game plans, or recruit different. They just want to play good defense and run. Win 7-9 games and call it a season after a bowl season. I mean, I don’t blame them, but that’s the reality.
It honestly looks like the Badgers coaches and players didn’t even come to try and win the game. Looks like they were practicing for a more winnable game after this week. Talent gap or not, they are getting embarrassed. Plenty of teams take these elite schools to the wire and don’t get clowned 5 minutes into the game.
