Football: Badgers DC Jim Leonhard interviews with Packers

Longtime Badger Defensive Coordinator Jim Leonhard may be stepping away from the team — he will soon be interviewing with the Green Bay Packers, according to Madison.com.

Leonhard was previously a candidate for the head coaching job at Illinois back in December, showing the coach may be shopping around for a new position in the football world.

While the offer may appear enticing, Leonhard has previously called his job at UW his “dream,” a position that will be hard to leave at will.

“This was kind of the dream job to come back and coach,” Leonhard told reporters when asked about his future with the Badgers.
