Badgers football: Officials promise a more open process in search to replace Bielema

The search for departing Wisconsin football coach Bret Bielema?s replacement has already begun and UW-Madison officials are promising it will be a more open, inclusive process than the one that got Bielema hired seven years ago, which was widely criticized on campus for being secretive and swift. “It?s not our desire to slow the process or interfere,” said Dale Bjorling, the chairman of the UW athletic board and an associate dean in UW-Madison?s School of Veterinary Medicine. “But it is our role to be actively involved.”
