Departures of Ikegwuonu, assistants leave holes to fill

Madison – The University of Wisconsin football staff will have at least two new faces next season and it appears the defense will be without one of its top playmakers, cornerback Jack Ikegwuonu.

Defensive coordinator Mike Hankwitz, according to sources, has been fired. Offensive line coach Bob Palcic has left the staff to become the offensive line coach at UCLA under Rick Neuheisel, his longtime friend. And, Ikegwuonu has decided to enter the 2008 National Football League draft.
