Last week, Jon McNamara at Rivals reported that the Wisconsin Badgers were hiring a new inside linebackers coach and, late on Tuesday afternoon, UW made that official when they announced the hiring of Bill Sheridan. Former Wisconsin ILB coach, Bob Bostad, was officially announced as moving back to the offensive side of the ball to coach the o-line.
“I’m thrilled to join the staff here at Wisconsin,” Sheridan said. “This is a program that I’ve admired for a long time, and now having the chance to work with Coach Chryst, Coach (Jim) Leonhard and this staff is an exciting opportunity for me.
