Most of you agreed that Bret Bielema coaching the team for the Rose Bowl would be a bad idea. Fact is, I'm among the 85 percent of people who agree in our poll regarding this question. An emotional response? Maybe.

But there's a report from the Sports Desk of The Badger Herald that seems to show that we're going to get our wish regarding Bielema and the Rose Bowl.

#BREAKING: Bret Bielema WILL NOT coach in Rose Bowl for #badgers, source close to program says — Badger Herald Sports (@BHeraldSports) December 5, 2012

We're not sure who's going to lead the team into the Rose Bowl. We're just certain who isn't. But there may be something to the reports that Barry Alvarez is willing to take the team and lead it through the Rose Bowl as a figurehead.

At the very least, it seems as if this break from Bielema's going to be a clean one.
