MADISON, Wis. – Bill Sheridan resigned as Wisconsin’s inside linebackers coach on Monday. He had been hired on Feb. 22 following a lengthy coaching career in both college and the NFL.
“While I look forward to presenting my case at a hearing, I am concerned that the NCAA investigation regarding activities that occurred prior to me joining the Wisconsin football staff could be a distraction which could cause harm to the program,” Sheridan said. “As a result, I am submitting my resignation effective immediately.”
“I have great respect for Coach Chryst, his staff and the student-athletes I had the privilege of meeting and coaching over the past three months. I regret that I will not have the opportunity to continue to be part of this special group and wish them well with the upcoming season.”
“I want to thank Bill for his time with us,” UW head coach Paul Chryst said. “Though he was only a part of our program for a short time, he had a positive impact on our players, especially the inside linebackers that he worked closely with. I wish him nothing but the best.”
