Around Madison alvarez is known as King Barry. But Ryan has been bball coach for awhile. Chryst or Doeren at NC state will get calls.
Wisconsin HC Gary Andersen taking Oregon State job

Agree that Paul Chryst will get a call and stands a good chance to get the job. He fits exactly what Alvarez is looking for, which is to be the puppet at the end of the string. Having many friends who are alums and donors at UW, they are well aware that although Alvarez does not walk the sidelines, he is still trying to coach the team from upstairs or his AD office. When Bielema left for ARK, instead of letting one of the assts. coach the Rose Bowl, Alvarez took over for 3 weeks. Why? There was a big bonus tied to the HC for winning the Rose Bowl, so Alvarez was looking to submarine his staff. Thank goodness he lost. Alvarez is the equivalent of Bill Parcells as a front office guy. These guys are football coaches ONLY, regardless of what title they hold, not good suite sitters. What GM (not his title but he ran the show) walks around the practice field with coach's shorts on and a whistle around his neck? Parcells. Alvarez wants to pull the strings.

I didn't really have a guy I thought should get our job. But yeah, Andersen was one of the few I wanted to get a look. He got waxed pretty good by Urban in the championship game....I really didn't see that coming. I don't really understand why he'd want to take the Oregon St job. He's from Utah so maybe he just wanted to get closer to home. Other than Michigan, it looks like Oregon St. is the only other job at a Power 5. Really sounds like he wanted to get out of Madison though. If he can make Oregon St relevant, it'll be a huge.

He left Utah State on very good terms. He is reported to have very high character. It will be interesting if a story comes out.

by making a lateral move or taking a step downward after only two years. What's this say to his players? It's not like he's leaving to coach the packers, he left his players and employer that gave him his first major head coaching job for Oregon state
Dude loves Beavers. I guess there's nothing more to say.
It says Alvarez is an azz, which most people seemed to suspect already.

Wisky coach leaves for the Pac 12, Cutcliffe says "hell nah" to the Meatchikin job in favor of Duke. How much worse can this conference get?

Cutcliffe got burned by Ole Miss. I think he's found a home and will coach out there. UM is in a sad state right now. McElwain isn't a sexy hire, but we got the best coach that was available this year.
This is today's head scratcher of the day, but yeah, WM would actually fit their style of football pretty well, and he wouldn't give up 59 points to OSU's 3rd string QB, either.
Some hints possibly...
On another note, that's how an AD keeps a coaching hire secret, Jeremy.
