Badgers wide receivers coach Jordan Reid will join the Atlanta Falcons as their assistant quarterbacks coach, 247Sports reported.

Fickell buyout: Two consecutive disappointing seasons have led Badger football fans to demand a coaching change.
That hasn’t happened yet, and one of the reasons is the cost – 25 million dollars.
The administration is backing head coach Luke Fickell so far, but spending millions to get rid of a coach isn’t unique in modern college football.
