New Mexico's Jason Eck linked to Wisconsin head coach position

Summary

Luke Fickell remains at the helm of Wisconsin Badgers football as of June 2026, though speculation surrounds his future. With a new athletic director recently appointed, changes could be imminent for the program, which has struggled of late. Jason Eck, the head coach at New Mexico and a Wisconsin native, has been identified as a strong candidate for the position. With a winning record of 35-17 and a recent accolade as the 2025 Mountain West Coach of the Year, Eck's background with Wisconsin makes him a compelling prospect. Discussions about his potential fit within the program highlight the transitional period Wisconsin faces.
