My guess is Cooper or Bradford will call the defense for the remainder of the season. Then after the season Bret will make a new hire. Probably had to happens, I don’t think Bobby was truly Bret’s first choice when hired, I think someone went back on their word and forced Bret to pivot. Bret has known Bobby for awhile and I think Bobby thought he would be reinvigorated to coach again with just being able to focus on the defense now. Obviously I don’t think that was the case. Too many mistakes that can’t happen at this level, heck even at the high school level you don’t see a lot of this stuff. We will know more tomorrow at Bret’s presser though.

FWIW Bret and the staff love Roger Cooper… I imagine he gives Roger a chance the rest of the way

Cooper lifting the entire unit could be the best case scenario if you do not want to continuous flip-flop on 4 and 3 man fronts and if you still believe in this scheme as a long-term benefit. Bielema might think it’s the right strategy but that Hauck was the wrong person.
