    Defensive coordinator & defensive backs coach




In February 2016, Leonhard joined Paul Chryst's staff at his alma mater as defensive backscoach.[12][13] In his year off between retiring from the NFL and being named DB coach for the Badgers Leonhard spent his time studying college film with then-Wisconsin Defensive Coordinator Dave Aranda and familiarizing himself with schemes that exist in college football that aren't prevalent in the NFL, such as the zone-read option offense. Prior to UW DB coach Daronte Jones leaving UW for an assistant coaching position with the Dolphins, Leonhard had been asking Paul Chryst about joining the Badgers staff.[14]

In February 2017, Leonhard was named the new defensive coordinator of the Badgers, replacing Justin Wilcox who became the new head coach of California.[15] In late November 2017 Leonhard was named one of five finalists for the Broyles Award which recognized the top assistant coach in college football.[16]
 
as an aside, can Wisconsin do no wrong? This dude was a coach for 1 ****ing year as a DB coach and just waltzes into being their DC and it works out perfectly?
