Doeren New Head of the Huskies

Wisconsin defensive coordinator Dave Doeren has been with Bret Bielema since the beginning. Now those days will come to an end after the Rose Bowl. When Doeren will officially take over as the head coach at Northern Illinois.

The Northern Illinois job originally opened when their head coach Jerry Kill bolted for the "warmth" of Minneapolis. Now it will be Doeren looking to fill his shoes in DeKabl, Ill. and don't let the words Northern Illinois fool you...Doeren has plenty of shoes to fill.

Despite the size of the university the football program has grown under Jerry Kill, and now it will be Doeren that will look to build upon the recent sucess. Coming off of a stunning defeat in the MAC championship game the Huskies are heading to their third straight bowl game. A feat that has not been matched in school history.

Doeren will be leaving the halls of Camp Randall to head into the hallowed ground of Huskie Stadium into what might be one of the best unknown jobs in college football. But not until he coaches the Badgers one more time.

As was stated earlier Doeren isn't jumping ship right away. He will stick it out through the Rose Bowl in the hopes of winning one more game at Wisconsin. That is until the next time he sees Wisconsin.

Next season the Badgers will travel to Soldier Field to take on the Huskies on September 17th. A mathc-up that could be all the more entertaining now that it will be a battle between the teacher and the student. Stay tuned for how that one plays out though. First Doeren will need to get through the Rose Bowl.
