So the Wisconsin job is open now

Another Big Ten job in the midwest has come open, which means it is time once again for national media members to wonder if Dave Doeren might be a candidate. Wisconsin fired Paul Chryst over the weekend despite an overall excellent record there, and hey, did you know that Dave Doeren once was an assistant there?

Bruce Feldman thinks that interim Wisconsin coach Jim Leonhard, who is an alum, is the favorite to get the full-time gig, but also has Doeren on his list of potentials. How potential is this potential? Probably not all that potentially potential, even in Feldman’s own words:

Dave Doeren also has Badgers ties from his days as defensive coordinator at Wisconsin from 2006 to 2010.
