Badgers lose long time running back coach

[swingman]

Badgers tried to keep running backs coach John Settle, but he’s leaving for Kentucky

Losing running backs coach John Settle continues an offseason of upheaval on the Badgers’ staff, which has lost three assistants since winning the Duke’s Mayo Bowl on Dec. 30.

Settle with over 10 years in Madison...good recruiter and coach...third coach to leave this off season...dline coach to Vandy, qb coach to oc job at CSU

They will be nothing without him.

on an actual serious note: are they still having trouble paying assistants? I recall that being a controversy when Burt left.

As I read the comments about his leaving for KY, it was to leave what was a dead end job in Madison with no chance of advancement to a job in KY that at least on paper looked like having more responsibilities.
Rumors are that James White who is retiring from a very successful NFL career with the Patriots ,who has just funded academic scholarships at WI, is in line for the job.

In line for the job as in ... they let Settle go to put White in the job eventually?

Man that's too dumb a decision to believe ....

Tom Brady may get White to un-retire.

If there's no room to move up to a coordinator spot in the current program ... yeah, eventually you're going to lose position coaches. That's just the nature of coaching.
