The Wisconsin Badgers made a major move in the offseason, hiring Kansas Jayhawks offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes to the same position to replace Phil Longo, ending an era in Madison after just 23 games.
Grimes, a coordinator at Kansas, Baylor, and BYU over the past few seasons, has a bevy of experience as a playcaller, and comes in with a more run-oriented offense that the Badgers have historically seen success with in the past.
That aligned with head coach Luke Fickell’s vision for the offense, leading to the hire as Wisconsin transitions to a new era and tries to get the program back on track after a couple of disappointing seasons.
