Wisconsin would want him for a ton of reasons: He coached Wisco from 2006-2011 as a coordinator for all of our best positions/specialities (TE, OL, RB&#039;s). He now has an NFL pedigree as Tampa&#039;s o-line coach (which I bet would be helpful for the Florida pipeline). Also if anyone has noticed, Wisconsin&#039;s o-line took a huge step down recently and it&#039;s not solely due to Chryst leaving. And although I&#039;ll admit Chryst is a better fit just based on the coordinators he&#039;d bring back, we&#039;d have to deal with his buyout clause. Not sure Sconnie would do that. And he&#039;d obviously want to come back since he&#039;s originally from Wisconsin, it would be a step up from coordinator to head coaching, more $, the school represents what he&#039;s good at, probably has a relationship with Barry.So yeah, he&#039;d perfect. The only coaches I can think that would make more/equal sense would be Chryst or an Alvarez return.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>I wouldn’t mind seeing Bob Bostad coming back home.</p></blockquote><p>This.</p><p>Fellow Mad-town alum and the consensus between me and everyone of my friends is this is a good thing.
