Wisconsin football made a notable coaching addition last week, bringing in Alex Grinch, former USC and Oklahoma defensive coordinator, to fill the role of safeties coach and co-defensive coordinator.
“I’m thankful to have the opportunity to add Alex [Grinch] to our staff,” Luke Fickell said in a statement. “Alex has phenomenal experience from across the college football landscape, and I’m excited for the schematic, recruiting, and coaching talents he’ll bring to our defensive staff.”

The decision by Coach Fickell followed Colin Hitschler’s departure, who took on the same position at Alabama under Kalen DeBoer.
