Where do Luke Fickell and Deion Sanders rank among offseason hires?

Wisconsin football made a massive splash this offseason by hiring former Cincinnati coach Luke Fickell to lead the program.

College Football News recently put together an offseason list of the best head coaching hires. The list included Deion Sanders at Colorado, Fickell at Wisconsin, and Matt Rhule down the road at Nebraska among others.

Fickell came to Wisconsin with arguably the best resume of any offseason hire, having taken Cincinnati to the College Football Playoff in 2021. He has gone 63-25 as a head coach before even stepping foot on campus in Madison.

Where does CFN rank him? Here is a look at their rankings of the top offseason hires:
