A familiar face could be returning to the Wisconsin Badgers coaching staff, but not at the position group you’d expect.
Bob Bostad will return to Wisconsin as inside linebackers coach, according to a report by FootballScoop.com on Thursday evening. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Jeff Potrykus confirmed the hiring via a source at UW.
Bostad will reportedly make the 100 mile trek up to Madison from Northern Illinois where he was a tight ends and fullbacks coach for the 2016 season. Prior to that, he coached offensive lines in the NFL at the Tennessee Titans (2014-15) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2012-13).
