Notre Dame Hijacks Former Badger to Bolster Defense
The Fighting Irish have secured Aaron Henry, former Wisconsin safety and Illinois defensive coordinator, naming him co-defensive coordinator alongside Chris Ash. Henry, a two-time Big Ten champion and Rose Bowl participant under Bret Bielema, transitions from the Illini to Notre Dame for the Badgers’ Week 1 showdown at Lambeau Field. He reunites with other ex-Wisconsin coaches on the Irish staff, including Ash and Joe Rudolph, turning the game into a gathering of Badger alumni despite the venue change from Madison to Green Bay.
In a shocking twist that even a Wisconsin cheesehead couldn’t predict, Notre Dame has officially become Wisconsin’s travel agent for coaching careers. Henry’s move feels less like a job change and more like a high-stakes game of musical chairs—except the music is blaring bagpipes, and every seat is reserved for a Badger expatriate. If this keeps up, the Badgers might consider boarding their stars on buses bound for South Bend rather than Madison. Next thing you know, they’ll be charging per coach on game day. Why bother visiting Lambeau when you could just have the entire UW brain trust on the sideline pretending to be Irish? Go Badgers—er, um, go Irish?
