"While playing in the NFL has always been a dream of

Defensive coordinator heads to Wisconsin
Dave Doeren, co-defensive coordinator for the Kansas football team, accepted a job at Wisconsin as co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach.
Doeren has been on the Kansas staff since 2002. He coached the linebackers and served as recruiting coordinator before he was promoted last summer to co-defensive coordinator.

Senior linebackers Banks Floodman, Kevin Kane and Brandon Perkins all earned honorable mention All-Big 12 this season as well.

Doeren joins first-year Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema, who will replace former Wisconsin coach Barry Alvarez.
