Considering that Wisconsin was somewhat late to the game thanks to Bielema's sudden departure, this is a solid hire by the Badgers. Andersen took over a Utah State program that hadn't accomplished much in the past and after only four seasons he not only led the Aggies to that 11-2 record and first conference title since it won the Big West in 1997, but into both the AP and Coaches polls.

I think this has the potential to be a good hire. It is a gamble anytime a BCS conference goes after a mid-major coach but if you can turn Utah State into a winner you are a better than average coach.

And Utah State barely lost to Wisconsin this year, missed a late field goal which would have won the game.
