Sid Hartman: I wont take credit for Barry Alvarez being hired as football coach at UW

per Sid:

I won’t take credit for Barry Alvarez being hired as football coach at Wisconsin and turning the program around, after first going 1-10 in his first season after being hired by athletic director Pat Richter in 1990.

A group of us, including Alvarez and Holtz, were going out to dinner one night, and early in the afternoon I got a call from Holtz to come to his suite. When I got there, Alvarez was there and Holtz said, “Barry has just been offered the Wisconsin job. You’ve been around the Big Ten for a long time, what do you think of the Wisconsin job?”

Go Gophers!!

No, but Sid was responsible for Holtz being hired, Obama winning two terms, and the appointment of the last three Popes.

Sure but when his lists the Popes, he misses one.

Time for Sid to be done.

Actually it was Harvey Mackay and Jay Dyer who were the ring leaders in hiring Holtz.

Does Sid still think he has a chance to BE the Pope?
