MADISON, Wis. — Alex Grinch says his disappointing tenure as Southern California's defensive coordinator the last two seasons has given him even more incentive as he begins his new job as Wisconsin's safeties coach and co-defensive coordinator. Grinch was fired at USC with two games left in the 2023 regular season. Grinch now fills a vacancy at Wisconsin that was created when 2023 safeties coach Colin Hitschler left to join new Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer's staff.
