It’s possible the University of Wisconsin could lose two of its elite coaches and, coincidentally, the two men could wind up having the same new address.
Eric Hansen, the UW men’s and women’s swimming coach since 1999, and Jerry Schumacher, the men’s cross country coach since 1998, have been approached for openings at California.
Hansen, 41, is a highly regarded coach who has turned the once-downtrodden UW men’s and women’s programs into perennial top-20 teams.
