Good times.

Former Badgers football coach Barry Alvarez, now the AD (and acting coach in the Rose Bowl), was asked if he would use a search committee in the quest to find a permanent new head coach to replace Bret Bielema:

"I won't use a search committee," Alvarez said Thursday. "Most search committees use me."

Boom.

Also, mark this: Alvarez is going to end up coaching the Badgers in 2013.
