Luke Fickell is one of the most popular and richest American Football Player who was born on August 18, 1973 in Columbus, Ohio, United States. Lucas Joseph Fickell, born August 18, 1973, is an American football coach. He is currently the University of Cincinnati’s head coach. He was a Ohio State University player for many years before becoming an assistant coach. He was OSU’s interim head coach for the entire 2011 season.

He spent two seasons with the Zips before returning to Ohio State as the special team coordinator in 2002 under Jim Tressel, the second-year head coach. Fickell was named the linebackers coach in 2004, and also became the co-defensive coordinator. He was awarded the AFCA Assistant Coach of The Year in 2010. This is his second recognition by the association, which also recognizes Woody Hayes and Earle Bruce as Buckeyes coaches.

After Ohio State posted a 6–6 regular season record, Fickell was passed up for the permanent head job, and instead Ohio State hired Urban Meyer. Fickell guided the Buckeyes one last time in the 2012 Gator Bowl against Meyer’s old team, the Florida Gators. After Meyer took the helm, Fickell returned to his old job as co-defensive coordinator, a job in which he served until he was named head coach at Cincinnati.

On December 10, 2016, Fickell was named as the 39th head coach of the University of Cincinnati, taking the place of the resigning Tommy Tuberville. In his first season, Fickell led the Bearcats to a 4-8 record.
