Wisconsin hires Matt CanadaBy Adam Rittenberg espn.com Updated: January 17, 2012, 4:13 PM ET

Wisconsin has hired Matt Canada to be its new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, the team announced Tuesday.

Canada comes to Wisconsin from Northern Illinois, where he served as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Canada worked under former Wisconsin assistant Dave Doeren with the Huskies, who finished in the top 12 nationally in total offense, rushing offense and scoring offense in 2011.

Great get for the Badgerks. Northern Illinois was 11th in total offense in the FBS this season. LINK

Huh. I heard they were replacing the brats with poutine.

But honestly, Wisconsin already is a poor man's Canada.
