I also think having Alvarez, the godfather of Wisconsin football, still lingering in the background as AD probably didn't help things for Bielema with the fans. Bielema was a good coach, but the fans seem to think Paul Chryst was responsible for bringing in a lot of their top end players, and naturally they want him to return to Wisconsin to be coach. And since he released a statement reaffirming his commitment to Pitt, he's probably as good as gone from the Panthers.
