UW Stepping Stone Job

[Chicos' Buzz Scandal Countdown]

Gary Anderson is leaving UW for Oregon State

Despite all the sh1t-talking from our Badger friends, it seems that UW's football program is even more of a stepping stone job than they claim MUBB is.

Alverez's shadow looms large over UW Football and he'll be a huge problem for any future coaches.

Too funny.    Bo must have cooled on him.

Bo Schembechler didn't let it stand in the way of success after he stepped into the AD role

Oregon State?  That's like the Virginia Tech of Pac 12 football.  

Maybe he hated being told to throw a game 59-0 to help his conference.  

Or maybe Barry was itching to coach another bowl game.

Not so much his shadow as his meddling (maybe that's what you meant). As long as he's there, I am convinced they will only play that run first (and second and third) style. No way Anderson wants to play that style given his history. I think he saw the writing on the wall, and after getting destroyed by OSU, and facing next year with no Gordon, no QB, and no receivers to speak of, got out while he could.

i hear ya, and don't know enough about how Barry works as AD, but it'll be interesting to see who they pull in.

Edit: As an AD what notable has Barry done? Two bungled football coaches.... Anything I'm missing? Bo was already there when he took over.

Folks saying Wisconsin's academic policies driving Gary Anderson to Oregon State. Apparently Bo Ryan has never had that problem.

Nor did the previous coach.

Does this mean that Anderson could get any criminal he wanted into Madison?

I don't know what that means.

Well, that's what happens when you're the Harvard of the Midwest.

This will make me chuckle for the next 24 hours.

[Tugg Speedman]

I don't know what that means.

Sure you do, see Florida State, to be number one you have to have players to get arrested about once a week. And worse in the case of Winston.

Curious ... You think Harvard refers to themselves as the Wisconsin of the Northeast?

[muwarrior69]

Kind of OT but if I remember correctly, UW won only one game during my 4 years at MU '65-'69. Remember the banner headline in the Milwaukee Journal when they won. They were just awful.

Hey!  Just because they had 28 consecutive losing seasons doesn't mean you need to say such horrible things.

[Tums Festival]

Don Morton is available. Bring back that veer!

I assume all those fried hippies I see stumbling around the UW campus are elite scholars who had their choice of any school on the planet.

[brandx]

Not surprised at all. IMO, the job is Paul Chryst's if he wants it.

Funny, but the thread here reads like the Badger boards when discussing MU.

Doesn't he have a .500 record after three seasons at Pitt? Impressive.

Much more impressive than a slug like Belichick - took him 9 seasons to get above .500.
