Jim Leonhard MARK HOFFMAN/MHOFFMAN@JOURNALSENTINEL.COM Mjs Uw09 29 Hoffman Jpg Uw09
Wisconsin Badgers defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard was considered one of the frontrunners to take the same job with the Green Bay Packers.
However, that conversation is now over. According to Tom Oates of the Wisconsin State Journal, Leonhard has turned down the opportunity.
Oates added that Leonhard is committed to his current role with the Badgers.
This is a blow to the Packers who are searching for their next defensive coordinator after deciding not to renew Mike Pettine’s contract at the end of the season.
