College Football Coach Match (Big Ten West): Guess Favorite Musician of Luke Fickell, Kirk Ferentz, More
Matt Roemble/Action Network.
As we inch even closer to the start of college football, we finish up the Big Ten portion of Coach Match with the coaches from the Big Ten West Division.
Action Network contacted each of the 133 FBS head coaches and asked the following question: Who is your favorite musical artist or group? Each coach was able to provide only one answer.
Thursday’s Big Ten West Hint
Today’s Big Ten lineup: Illinois’ Bret Bielema, Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz, Minnesota’s P.J. Fleck, Nebraska’s Matt Rhule, Northwestern’s David Braun, Purdue’s Ryan Walters and Wisconsin’s Luke Fickell.
Today’s hint: Purdue’s Ryan Walters had the same choice as Michigan State’s Mel Tucker did on Wednesday.
Also, a majority of the Big Ten West coaches — Bret Bielema, Kirk Ferentz P.J. Fleck and Luke Fickell — all went the country route. And none of the Big Ten West coaches selected the same artist.

Coach Match Instructions
To guess, click the music artist you think matches each coach from left to right. Some coaches might have the same answer, so you can pick the same artist for multiple coaches. When you have selected an artist for each coach, hit submit. A green box means that artist is correct, a yellow box means that artist was selected by another coach and a gray box means no coach picked this artist.
After completion of Coach Match, click the "share on Twitter" button. One individual daily will be randomly selected for some free Action Network gear if (a) you tweeted your response and (b) you are following @ActionNetworkHQ and @Brett_McMurphy on Twitter.
For each day’s Coach Match, I will provide a hint to hopefully make it a little easier to solve. We will post a new Coach Match daily at 9 a.m. ET, so check back every day.
Guess each coach's favorite artist or band!
