Earlier on Wednesday, Wisconsin defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard joined ESPN Wisconsin’s “Wilde and Tausch” morning radio show after reports surfaced that the Green Bay Packers will hire his former coach Mike Pettine as the defensive coordinator.
Since bowl week, questions about opportunities beyond what is in Madison have come to light with reports Florida State and new head coach Willie Taggart wanting Leonhard to potentially come to Tallahassee. ESPN Wisconsin’s Jason Wilde asked towards the end of the interview if coaching in the NFL is “in his radar” at some point or if he would like to remain in college football.
