I took "not relevant to Michigan" as "not relevant to Michigan's coaching search." As the one guy Michigan is guaranteed to not hire after firing Brady Hoke, Brady Hoke is irrelevant to our search. 

No idea if that's what he meant though.

Something that's been mention in conjunction with the mutual desirabilty of some candidates here.

RT @ESPNRittenberg Wisconsin’s academic policies for getting players in had to play huge part in Andersen’s decision. Had been frustrated.

 

I wonder what the reaction to the 59-0 loss was from Alvarez.

"Gary Andersen does not want out at Wisconsin, but those familiar with the program say the second-year coach is becoming increasingly frustrated by the school’s admissions policies.

Additionally, Wisconsin has been slow to evolve when it comes to paying assistants what has become customary market value elsewhere.

“He’s afraid of losing Dave,” a coach told me, referring to Badgers defensive coordinator Dave Aranda, who should have been a Broyles Award finalist after the outstanding job he’s done in 2014.

Whichever SEC teams miss out on Will Muschamp -- whether it’s Auburn, Texas A&M or South Carolina -- could wind up pushing for Aranda. Each would likely offer in the $1 million per year range.

Andersen came from Utah State and is making a little more than $2 million a year. If another comparable program came with an offer, he would likely be listening -- if for no other reason than to get the administration’s attention. Then again, it let the last guy walk.

The chasm between the coaches and board’s wishes has been widening the past five or so years, one source said, adding that it’s the biggest reason why Bret Bielema left for Arkansas.

Could Andersen be next, or will Wisconsin change with the times?"

 

Head coaching salaries are crazy enough; now it's filtering down to assistants. Meanwhile, the players have to be content with stipends that may or may not cover their costs, and the ticket prices keep escalating.
