Bret Bielema acknowledges that during his few free moments this year he has contemplated the makeup of his first coaching staff when he takes over as Wisconsin’s head coach in 2006.
“I had an idea, a theory, in my mind midway through the season what direction my staff was going to go,” Bielema said after UW’s first bowl practice Friday.
Whether Bielema’s original blueprint will remain intact remains a mystery to most outside the program. UW’s second-year defensive coordinator has declined to comment publicly on any candidates and on which of UW’s current assistants will be retained.
