The Wisconsin Badgers made some drastic changes to their football program this offseason, namely hiring Jeff Grimes as their new offensive coordinator to replace Phil Longo.
Grimes, a former offensive coordinator at Kansas, Baylor, and BYU, comes with a run-dominant background as a former offensive lineman, and is expected to return Wisconsin to its roots with a more physical style of play, rather than the ‘Air Raid’ offense that fans saw over the past two seasons.
After failing with his first offensive coordinator hire, head coach Luke Fickell is looking to change the identity of Wisconsin Football this offseason back to something more relatable for the program, hoping to generate more success after middling results over his first two years in Madison.
