MADISON, Wis. — Former Southern California defensive coordinator Alex Grinch has resurfaced at Wisconsin as the Badgers' new safeties coach. Wisconsin was seeking a safeties coach after Colin Hitschler left to join new Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer's staff. Grinch is a two-time semifinalist for the Frank Broyles Award given annually to college football's top assistant coach. He has been a defensive coordinator at Washington State (2015-17), Oklahoma (2019-21) and Southern California (2022-23). He also was Ohio State's co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach in 2018. He got fired at USC with two games left in the 2023 regular season.
