Wisconsin head coach Bret Bielema is spreading the special teams duties around. With four of his assistants at one time being special teams coordinators, Bielema is giving all four them a piece of the special teams pie.
For most of Bret Bielema's tenure as Wisconsin head coach, he has handled the bulk of the responsibility of the special teams. After last season Bielema said that he no longer wants to be responsible for the special teams unit.
Rather than hiring one coach, or appointing one from the staff, to head up the special teams he will instead use four coaches. Coaches Charlie Partridge, Greg Jackson, Joe Rudolph, and Chris Ash will now be the coaches in charge.
Each of the coaches will take a particular part of the special teams to coach. They will be broken off into punt team, kickoff coverage, kickoff return, and punt return.
Bielema was qutoed by madison.com that he takes responsibility for all positions.
"I'm a coach on every unit," Bielema said to madison.com,"It'll be more of a support role, but I have a lot of experience, too."
