Nebraska’s Matt Rhule: Dave Matthews Band

Okay so obviously there's a few notable choices on this list that must be discussed, but none is more shocking (and less shocking) than Jim Harbaugh choosing Alanis Morissette as his favorite musical artist. How fucking weird can one guy get? Like, the khakis alone makes him different. The love of milk escalates that to odd. Sleeping over at a recruits house makes him creepy. But naming Alanis Morissette as your favorite musical artist takes him over the edge to being a fucking freak show. No other man on Earth would admit this as their answer, but it seems right on brand for him.
Another weirdo on the list include Indiana's Tom Allen choosing a Christian Rock band. Even if that's true, why not just say a classic rock band like AC/DC and save face? I'll admit that I am slightly nervous that Ohio State is going to Bloomington this weekend without having named a starting quarterback, but when I sit back and think about it, this team simply cannot and will not lose to a team coached by a dork like that. Especially when our coach is rocking out to the biggest star in country music: Morgan Wallen.
Lots of people in the reply section are trying to cancel Ryan Day for his selection. I will admit that Wallen's an interesting choice given his choice of language off the concert stage, but I think everyone on Earth can agree that his music on the concert stage is absolutely fire. The question asked was not which musical artist has the best moral standing.
But while the replies seem to label Ryan Day and Jim Harbaugh as the two biggest "losers" from this list, Wisconsin's Luke Fickell appears to have won over the public with his choice of Brianna Chickenfry's boyfriend, Zach Bryan. Although, I must admit I'm a little suspicious that Luke Fickell may have been told answers to say that would win over the public based on his Big Ten Media Days answers.
Zach Bryan is hot in the streets, so he's his favorite artist. And it just so happens that the new Wisconsin head football coach also has the favorite food of cheese curds? Okay buddy…..just be real and not some character.
