Wisconsin running backs coach Devon Spalding has left to take the same role with Michigan State, leaving Luke Fickell and the Badgers with an opening on the staff. While there's plenty of directions to go for the hire, there's one person that coaches and fans alike would adore. However, there's one major hurdle to get over.
Former Badger running back James White has been brought up multiple times among fans for the job. He was beloved as a player, and already has some collegiate level coaching experience at Illinois. By all accounts, it would be a great fit for the parties involved, but it would mean White would have to leave his current post after just a few weeks.
