I don't see those moves as comparable. The difference in stature between Wisconsin football and Iowa State football is much wider than between Creighton basketball and Iowa State basketball in 2010.
(Putting on tinfoil hat)
Makes you wonder if Alvarez told Andersen to throw the championship game against OSU in spectacular fashion, and was so disgusted with the situation afterwards that he took the first BCS job available to him just to get out of Madison...

Can anyone tell me the fanbase expectations? Is the fanbase delusional that they expect him to beat OSU all the time? Badgers are a good team but I don't think they'll compete well with OSU and Meyer.
Judging on Bielema's and Andersen's leaving makes me wonder whether they see that the expectations are unrealistic.
And IIRC, Andersen is a good coach but not a sexy hire like a lot of people wanted that time.

no. Fans were happy with the year from what I saw. Badger apparel sales (this is helped by basketball/volleyball) are through the roof. I'm shocked that he's leaving.
I was semi-jokingly saying that Alvarez had him throw the game the other day. I saw some of the post-game and Andersen was ******. Talked about how embarrassing losing that badly was. How it wasn't on the team or the staff, it was all on him.
I know there were some people that didn't like him for some reason. I didn't mind him.

Well Melvin Gordon is going pro, not sure what to do at QB, Minnesota is gaining, and I hate Alvarez)

From a pure football perspective, you dont leave Wisconsin for Oregon State...but you do if your boss has control issues

You know, part of me wants to believe this, but then part of me wonders why it would suddenly be this to be the first thing that JM has ever said that actually had any intelligence behind it.
No idea why anyone would ever leave Wisconsin. I don't get it. Lots of fans, great school, area, tradition.. This is very surprising to me. I don't understand how its not a destination job.
but did you hear anyone calling for a change after two years? I went through the Reddit thread on it and every UW fan seems to be shocked.
1. All of a sudden Oregon State has hired a better coach than Nebraska (at least by reputation)
2. I can understand him wanting to get back west, but Oregon State is a tough, tough job.
3. Alvarez must really be a **** to work for.
4. It won't happen, but I'm pretty sure that Wisconsin had more than a passing interest in Rhoads last time. Weirder things have happened (the Chiz to Auburn, for example).
5. Where is the best Wisconsin board? That place has got to gold tonight.
6. Someone will want to take that job. I'm not convinced that Minnesota is here to stay. Iowa is Iowa. Nebraska is a shell of its former self. A certified idiot could win 8 games at Wisconsin.
