I am starting to read this as Alvarez is the issue. The guy is a legend at Wisconsin, is still there as the AD, and is even going to 'temporarily' step in as head football coach for the Badger's Bowl game. I wonder if he ever left. It would similar to if Calhoun replaced Hathaway a the UConn AD after UConn had picked someone outside 'the club' to be the new basketball head coach. Imagine having Calhoun looking over your shoulder as your boss?

EXACTLY right. I always cringe at posts that call for Calhoun as AD. His role as a top advisor is about as high as I'd like to see him inside the UCONN AD. If he were AD, we would likely see the same coaching carousel in hoops as we see at Wisconsin football. I think Wisconsin should think long and hard about cutting some of Alvarez's weight...even if it means some sort of well paid "voluntary resignation" deal.

This will be the second time Alvarez has coached them in a bowl game in 2 years. He coached them in the Rose Bowl after Bielema bolted to Arkansas.

Not sure about Mooreland but I have no issues w/ Moorhead either... class act.

Agreed. Moorhead is showing he can coach and has local ties so that would help recruit. If Orlando was hired as DC there as well as Moorhead, I think Pitt would be a pretty good team in a year or two.

I disagree. Football at Wisconsin before Alvarez was pretty bad. From 1963 to 1992, Wisconsin had 5 seasons of a winning record in the Big 10. Alvarez was hired in 1990, and his first three seasons weren't great including 1-10 (0-8 in Big 10) in his first season. I think Alvarez figured out how to win at Wisconsin and coaches who follow the blueprint can win. You can win by having a strong run game and a good defense. You won't be successful at Wisconsin with a spread offense because they can not recruit the athletes.

I think Anderson left because he and his family prefer a small town lifestyle. The rumor is that he was called for a reference on the current Utah St coach and he surprisingly threw his name into the discussion.

Will these count as new job figures under Obama's watch?

That is funny if he was called for a reference and threw his name into the discussion - and sad.

Surprised that no one posted the tweet about Diaco being a candidate at Michigan.

I can't find it now, but it was by a reporter. When I searched for Diaco, there were a bunch of posts about how dreamy he is from women, and I just stopped searching.

I see Tom Herman's name come up at pretty much every high profile coaching gig and yet he never seems to get hired. Is he interviewing poorly (or at all) or are other candidates winning out the job over him?
 
@DanWolken: If Muschamp is Auburn-bound, Tom Herman will be favorite to get Houston job. But one name to keep an eye on: Fresno St coach Tim DeRuyter

So much for that:
@ThayerEvansSI: Former Florida coach Will Muschamp will be Auburn's new defensive coordinator per a source.

Will Muschamp would of been a nice addition to UConn as DC. Yes, some say that's a long shot, but money talks offering him $800,000 to $1000,000,000 a year would make him consider coaching here as DC, no? bringing in another high profile coach like Muschamp will bring UConn to the next level in recruiting. Its college football anything is possible #DreamsCanComeTrue

Out of control... $1.6m+/yr as Defensive Coordinator (plus he get $2.1m/yr from UF - no offset language)

Corvallis, OR is a smaller city than small city Madison, WI, but both are surrounded by small towns. Such a rumor is not supported by both location's abundant surrounding small town lifestyles.

Morris at SMU. Herman at Houston. Montgomery at Tulsa. Geesh, the only top OC available NOT hired by an AAC school remaining is Scott Frost.
