Wisconsin assistant football coach Randall McCray has left the Badgers football staff to take the defensive coordinator position at Middle Tennessee State.

McCray was the defensive line coach on Bret Bielema’s first staff at UW in 2006 and helped coach the secondary last season.  McCray also served as UW’s recruiting coordinator the last two years.

McCray is the second coach to leave Wisconsin.  Secondary coach Kerry Cooks took a job at Notre Dame.

Wisconsin women’s hockey coach Mark Johnson said there are no guarantees, but he believes the U.S. women’s Olympic hockey team, which he is coaching, has a good chance at the gold medal.  Standing in their way in all likelihood is Team Canada. 

The Canadian’s had the upper hand on the pre-Olympic Quest Tour, but Johnson said he’s not concerned about that.
