Do you have a real source saying that we turned down Gundy over Bielema in 2012?
Also, to avoid any revisionist history, the stat lines between Gundy and Bielema in 2012 was this:
BB: .739 winning percentage, 3 conference championships, 3 BCS bowls, 4 10+ win seasons
MG: .657 winning percentage, 1 conference championship, 1 BCS bowl, 2 10+ win seasons
Bielema led teams that had a far more impressive 7 year resume than Gundy did. And that's just wins/losses/champioships type stuff. Wisconsin also put more players in the NFL and won a whole lot of awards and All-Americans.
Bielema has not worked out here. But you can't say, "Hiring someone who had 3 championships, was always a BCS contender, and had a .739 winning % is proof positive we weren't committed to winning because we should have hired the guy with worse stats from a worse/equal conference. That would have proven we were committed to winning."
