Look, I get it. Why wouldn’t Wisconsin Badgers fans want Jim Leonhard to return to the football program? He’s a legend on and off the field and one of the brightest defensive minds in the entire game.
But I need to stop you right there. The odds of Leonhard returning to the Badgers one season after he was passed over for the head coaching job is entirely unrealistic. That idea is even less realistic when you consider that many people are clamoring for Luke Fickell to hire him as the safeties coach following the departure of Colin Histchler to Alabama.
