Wisconsin football social media is not happy about Alex Grinch being named Badgers’ co-DC

Wisconsin football social media is not happy about Alex Grinch being named the Badgers’ co-DC

The Wisconsin football program officially announced the hire of former USC and Oklahoma defensive coordinator Alex Grinch earlier today. He will be the Badgers’ new safeties coach and co-defensive coordinator.

Grinch takes over after Colin Hitschler left for a similar position under Kalen DeBoer at Alabama. He does bring years of experience as defensive coordinator, though not the experience everybody may be looking for. The assistant coach was only available for hire because he was fired as USC’s defensive coordinator in early November of 2023 as the Trojans were on pace to have one of the worst defenses in the country.

There is a track record of good years as a position coach, however, as Grinch is a four-time nominee for the Broyles Award for the nation’s top assistant coach with time spent in those roles at Washington State (2015-2017) and Ohio State (2018).

Regardless of his pedigree as a position coach, Badgers fans are not happy with the co-defensive coordinator tag. The fan sentiment can be clearly seen in the replies to Wisconsin’s tweet confirming the hire:

Social media reacts to Auburn losing to Mississippi State

Auburn has now lost back-to-back games and is 2-3 in true road games this season.

For the first time this season, the Auburn Tigers have lost back-to-back basketball games. They were unable to get anything going offensively Saturday at Mississippi State, falling 64-58 in Humphrey Coliseum.

Auburn’s 58 points are the fewest they have scored all season and the first time they scored under 60 since they scored 54 against Kentucky last season.

It was yet another rough shooting night for the Tigers, who made 33.9% (19-56) of their field goals, and just 25% (6-24) of their 3-pointers. They were great from the free-throw line though, going 14-of-16.

[autotag]Johni Broome[/autotag] led Auburn with 14 points and grabbed seven rebounds. [autotag]Jaylin Williams[/autotag] also finished in double figures, scoring 10 points of his own.
