Wisconsin moves closer to hiring football coach with formation of search committee

Another piece of the search for the next University of Wisconsin football coach has been put in place and one more could happen soon.

An Athletic Board ad hoc committee that serves in an advisory role for hiring has been formed for the football opening, board chair Ann Sheehy said.

Sheehy said the committee will meet "as needed" during the search, which officially opened Saturday when the job was posted.

UW policies dictate that athletics coaching jobs need to be open for at least seven days, and the deadline to apply was listed as Saturday in the job posting.
