Wisconsin to lose great coach
University of Wisconsin football coach Barry Alvarez will step down at the end of this season. He'll be focusing exclusively on his job as the school's athletic director. His successor as coach will be defensive coordinator Bret Bielema.
Bielema may turn out to be a good coach, but this is a big loss for the Badgers football program. In the early 1990's, Wisconsin was an easy win for teams like Michigan and Ohio State. Just a few years later, the Badgers became a worthy opponent, and they've stayed among the conference's best. Alvarez has led Wisconsin to three Rose Bowl victories. On top of this, he's a classy guy who seems to never make headlines for the wrong reason.
