Weird man. Very weird.

[MrNubbz]

That was directed at GA,wants to coach but basically not recruit was what i took away from that.Kind of goes with the territory in other words

[847badgerfan]

He did not understand how to recruit at Wisconsin. Period. He had commits that couldn't get into school. He wanted JUCO players. 

He also started to abandon in-state kids while trying to recruit OOS kids with no chance of admission. This pissed of the WI HS coaches.

He knew he had to go, and he did.

He was so odd. A lot of folks said he was in many ways nicer to deal with than Bret, but then he'd have these weird moments where he just acted not only strange, but not normal coach strange (coaches are so strange).

The recruiting, in addition to the JUCO and other stuff, was also odd. They had a ridiculous run of OL injuries in his classes, Sheehy, Dixon, Jamerson, Deiter, Tindal, Benzschawel, Edwards, Dietzen, Sagapolu, Edwards, Orr, Baun were good gets. I forgot he got a four-star WR who quit because he was homesick, and his HS coach just crushed him in print. Good times.

MSU strikes again?

Sounds like MSU has hired UW's recruiting coordinator for the same position. Probably a fat raise, like Gilmore.



FU, Tucker.

If Wisconsin is losing people to lateral moves, wouldn't that suggest maybe Wisconsin isn't taking good enough care of their people?

[FearlessF]

Husker beat writer suggested that the new AD would boost salaries

blamed the King for keeping salaries low

[847badgerfan]

Tucker has a blank check for every hire he makes.

Gilmore was making $275K at UW. 

MSU is paying him $500K+.

That doesn't go over in Madison, with a chancellor who hates athletics.

So UW is not paying market rates. Got it.

I don't think $500K is the market rate for a WR coach.
