Report: Badgers hiring SEC coach as new WRs coach

Luke Fickell is hiring a familiar face to join him as the new wide receivers coach at Wisconsin.

The Wisconsin Badgers have found their new wide receivers coach, as they’re set to hire Arkansas wideouts coach Kenny Guiton to the same role, according to FootballScoop.

Guiton will replace former wide receivers coach Mike Brown, who departed for the same role at Notre Dame after just one season on the staff.

Guiton has a connection to head coach Luke Fickell as the former played quarterback at Ohio State from 2009-2013 while the latter was the co-defensive coordinator and, briefly, interim head coach at the program.

Since finishing his playing career, Guiton has coached with the Houston Cougars as a wide receivers coach before moving to Louisiana, Colorado State, and most recently, Arkansas, under the same role.

It’s December 5th, 2009. We’re in Arlington, Texas for the Big 12 Championship Game. Down two, Texas is lined up for a field goal attempt that would punch their ticket to the BCS National Championship Game. For Nebraska, if this score holds then they’ll bring home their first conference title since 1999, while simultaneously throwing a major wrench into the BCS title race. So to better appreciate that, to understand what’s going through Colt McCoy’s head, to recognize the game-wrecking greatest of Ndamukong Suh, and to remember why we’ve still got this one tick on the clock, we need to rewind.
