Alvarez expected to step aside as coach WSJ
UW Athletic Department officials have called a news conference for 1 p.m. today to address the dual-role status of football coach and athletic director Barry Alvarez.
Sources indicated Alvarez will relinquish his job as the Badgers' coach to become full-time athletic director at UW. He is expected to outline a timetable for his transition to that role, but it was unclear whether he will name his successor as coach or when he will step down.
Defensive coordinator Bret Bielema and co-offensive coordinator Paul Chryst are the top on-staff candidates to replace Alvarez as football coach.
Sources said Alvarez and his family will be in attendance at today's news conference.
