Wisconsin
In July 1925, Slaughter was hired as assistant coach for the University of Wisconsin Badgers football team. Slaughter coached the Wisconsin linemen under head coach George Little, who had coached Slaughter at Michigan. His former Michigan teammate, Irwin Uteritz, was also hired by Little as an assistant coach to work with the Wisconsin backfield players. Slaughter remained the line coach at Wisconsin for the 1925 and 1926 college football seasons.
In September 1926, reports were published indicating that Slaughter had signed to play professional football with Red Grange. However, Slaughter turned down the offer, noting that he would be barred from coaching in the Big Ten Conference if he signed as a professional football player.
