Seems that the Wisconsin faithful are excited about the move. Thoughts?

Wrong link but Alverez has already denied offer was made to him

I would say it is very likely this turns out to be the hire but they are denying any offers have been made.
From Today:

In a statement Friday, Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez said only that the job cannot be offered to any candidate prior to Wednesday because of university hiring policies and that any offer would need approval from the university's board of regents.
"We are continuing the process of finding our new head football coach. We have not offered the position to anyone," Alvarez said in the statement.

I think it would be a bad hire.

It's not like Chryst has been successful at Pitt, he is a .500 coach.

I think it will be just the same as when scUM hired Hoke.

He is an Alverez disciple, former Wisky player and Madison native. Makes a lot of sense.

Going .500 at Pitt is not horrible , especially since May went there

I give up on the week. I can't get any of my posts correct here.

I saw that Alvarez denied it, but it seems more like wisky policy is keeping it that way, than they didn't want him.

Haha, I get what you're saying, but Hoke was a "M*ch*gan Man" who was old school (he doesn't wear a headset guys!) and was going to bring Meatchicken back to it's hay day.

Going .500 anywhere is bad, it's not like Pitt is in the SEC.

As expected and not a bad hire but I'm not so sure the right hire. His Pitt teams played above their talent imo though.

If that's the case then it's a good hire. To be successful at Wisky they will need that.

I'll stay somewhere between not a bad hire and a good hire until I see his work.

Not a " wow what a great hire and look out for Wisky real soon" reaction to that hire.
