In a surprising development, the University of Michigan is hiring away Greg Scruggs, the defensive line coach for the Wisconsin Badgers football team, to fill the same role under new head coach Sherrone Moore.
The former Wisconsin Badgers defensive line coach was reportedly courted with a significant raise. Moreover, a personal connection exists between Scruggs and Moore, stemming from their time together at the University of Louisville.
This move highlights the ongoing challenge for Wisconsin Badgers head football coach Luke Fickell, who has seen a number of his coaching staff members targeted by programs with deeper pockets.
