Postgame Press Conference

The story is that Ryan was going to retire in the off-season, but Gard's dad was diagnosed with brain cancer in the Spring, so he continued coaching. His dad died in November, Ryan retired in December, and he was given the gig.

If that was always the plan or not I don't know...and I don't know if it really matters anyway. Gard was always going to get the job and I am about 99% sure Ryan stuck on because his friend's dad was dying.

And remember this was under Alvarez as AD. If it were under McIntosh, I have no doubt they would have done a full search.

Also gave Bo more time to dispose of the body(ies)

The story I heard was that the utter embarrassment of getting unmercifully blown out by Wojo in Madison sent Bo off to the AutoZone.

"Bo murdered a guy at Autozone" is a bit that's been around since he announced he was retiring. As I recall someone actually posted on Buckyville seriously refuting the story.

He's trying

Didn't Bo sort of force this though? Badgers said they were going to do a national search then Bo said he was coming back only to quit in December leaving them no other option. To Gard's credit, he took that team to the S16 and earned the position.

Dick Bennet did a similar act which ensured Brad Soderburg got the job.

They have to say they are doing a national search. State hiring laws require it.

But Gard was always going to get the job.
