The Wisconsin football program promoted strength and conditioning coach Ross Kolodziej to defensive line coach last month after now-former defensive line coach Inoke Breckterfield left to fill the same role at Vanderbilt.
According to a release from the program, assistant strength and conditioning coach Shaun Snee will take over as the director of football strength and conditioning.
The perfect man for the job

Snee joined the Wisconsin staff in 2014 as the assistant strength and conditioning coach. When Kolodziej moved to the defensive line, UWBadgers.com notes that “there were players who reached out via text messages and calls to Shaun Snee and expressed their backing.”
The Montrose, Pennsylvania native has years of experience in the field, spending the 2012 and 2013 seasons as a strength and conditioning graduate assistant under Paul Chryst at Pittsburgh and now seven years with the Wisconsin program.
According to accounts from players, people within the program and Snee himself, the new strength coach will carry many of the same standards and values over from Kolodziej’s time at the helm.
