Same. Maybe there are some behind the scenes things we don't know about, but he's been incredibly successful for Wisconsin. Makes a bowl every year, including 2 BCS bowls in 7 years. Was one game away from being in the playoffs in 2017.
I get this would have bee another ho-hum year for them and firing him after season. But I wonder what are realistic expectations at Wisconsin. Seems like being in the 2nd tier of the Big 10, making a bowl every year, and flirting with some big ones every so often is a realistic ceiling for Wisconsin.
Again, maybe there is more to it. But I feel like schools like Wisconsin are much more likely to fall like Nebraska did than jump to that Ohio State level they seem to think they can reach.
