On Thursday, Paul Chryst completed his 2021 coaching staff by hiring new cornerbacks coach, Hank Poteat. That means that the Badgers now have five offensive coaches, five defensive coaches and one special teams coach for their 11 on-field coaches.
As Owen noted on Twitter Thursday, this is how the coaching lineup shakes out:
QB: Paul Chryst
RB: John Settle
WR: Alvis Whitted
TE: Mickey Turner
OL: Joe Rudolph (also associate head coach, offensive coordinator and run game coordinator)
DL: Ross Kolodziej
OLB: Bobby April III (also run game coordinator)
ILB: Bob Bostad
CB: Hank Poteat
S: Jim Leonhard (also defensive coordinator)
Specialists: Taylor Melhaff (not one of the 11 “on field” coaches)
Special teams coordinator: Chris Haering
Jeff Potrykus noted on Friday morning that Chryst will be going back to calling the plays on offense which is a welcome sign for many Badgers fans.
