Wisconsin Badgers football continues to grow as they try to improve on last season, but this time they decided not to look that far and brought in a up-to-date safeties coach from within their own group.
According to reports, it was assistant defensive backs coach Jack Cooper promoted to the rank of safety instructorh, the position was previously held by Alex Grinch, who is currently in Central Florida after signing as defensive coordinator.
Cooper’s promotion is just one of many moves the Badgers are making this season a disappointing 2024 in which they failed to bowl for the first time in 22 years.
This is not Cooper’s first rodeo in that department because he had previously held a similar position in Nebraska.
His biography on the University of Wisconsin website boasts of his achievements as a defensive coach.
In 2021, the defense’s first full season, Rhode Island’s defense has improved dramatically in many major categories. The Rams moved up from the national rankings in the following categories. Scoring (63 points), yards per play (87 points), defensive passing efficiency (57 points), yards per carry (72 points), sacks per game (68 points). Cooper’s work helped Rhode Island go 7-4 this season, the program’s most wins since the 2001 season 20 years ago.
