Wisconsin’s new offensive coordinator Bobby Engram was officially announced on Monday afternoon. The former Baltimore Ravens tight ends coach comes to Madison after spending his last 8 years in the NFL.
How will Engram keep what’s working, but also bring his own spin to the Wisconsin offense? The newest member of the Badger coaching staff gave his first bit of insight into how he will go about his role.
Here is what Engram had to say in Wisconsin’s press release on Monday:
“Becoming an offensive coordinator is a big step, but it’s all about this being a good fit,” Engram said. “I believe in Wisconsin and our philosophies are the same — I appreciate the way this program runs the ball, I love the way they play defense — and my focus will be on doing everything I can to elevate the offense and help our team win games.
“Running the football well is important, using the play-action pass, being multiple and doing a lot of different things offensively, but doing them well. For me, it’s bringing a fresh look and my own sense of creativity to what’s already been proven successful here. I’ve been fortunate to be around some great coaches and players in the NFL, and I want to bring the best of what I’ve learned to the Badgers.”
