Wisconsin Twitter page sparks rumors with photo of Jon Gruden

Wisconsin AD Barry Alvarez is very busy these days. He has to find a head football coach to replace Gary Andersen, and he's coaching the Badgers himself in the Outback Bowl.

Alvarez was at a media event for the Outback Bowl on Thursday, where he had a pretty good coaching candidate fall into his lap.

On the one hand, Alvarez could just offer the job to Gruden to get his search over with. But Gruden's best college coaching job was as a receivers coach with Pitt in 1991, so this is just a good misdirection play by the Badgers' social media team.
