Wisconsin’s inside linebacker coach Bill Sheridan has resigned from his position with the team, effective immediately, according to an announcement sent out by Wisconsin Athletics on Friday afternoon. Sheridan was previously hired by the Badgers in February after a lengthy coaching career at both the NFL and collegiate levels.
Sheridan’s resignation comes just days after a report from Action Network’s Brett McMurphy which stated that Sheridan and multiple other coaches at Air Force we’re under NCAA investigation for violating NCAA rules. According to McMurphy’s report, Sheridan and others hosted recruits during the COVID-19 dead period and provided impermissible benefits to recruits.
