Bielema to take Arkansas job

As of this morning the BSU AD said Peterson hasn't informed the he is interviewing anywhere and is still in Boise. I think he is still a big longshot.

 

I also saw Mel Tucker said he is not interested at this time.

well he may be in Boise this morning, but that doesn't mean he wasn't in Madison yesterday when the interview reportedly was supposed to happen. This search definitely is being held in as much secret as possible since no official candidates were leaked by the university.

CBS Sports is reporting that Wisconsin is going to hire Gary Anderson from Utah State.

I like it, he sounds like an incredible guy and coach from what I've read so far. I definitely have a ton of faith in Barry Alvarez to find the right coach.

Don't know much about him at all other than he would have beaten UW this year if he had a kicker.

 

Its always tough to judge to the guys coming from mid majors but it doesn't sound like a horrible hire. Perhaps I was expecting a little more name recognitition; I was probably overvaling the UW job.

I think sometimes fans are overly concerned about hiring a recognized name. There were a lot of people that were hoping the Brewers would hire Bobby Valentine (mainly because of "name recognition") the last time they were in the market for a manager. I think everyone now agrees that would have been a bad decision. I tend to prefer the finding the "diamond in the rough" approach when it comes to hiring coaches and managers.
