From Albert Breer's column on SI.com.
You gotta strike when the iron is hot:
4. Timing can be everything in coaching. Before Bret Bielema’s final season at Wisconsin, he quietly interviewed for the Dolphins job that eventually went to Green Bay assistant Joe Philbin. Bielema wound up coaching the Badgers that fall before abruptly bolting for Arkansas. Since, he’s gone 29-31 in Fayetteville, and just narrowly avoided a massive upset loss to Coastal Carolina on Saturday. His seat couldn’t be toastier, and now, despite a strong track record of developing NFL players, he could be a longer shot for any job in the pro ranks. And the guy who replaced him at Wisconsin, Gary Andersen, quietly interviewed for the Browns job after his first year in Madison, then bolted a year later for Oregon State. That’s the same Andersen who mysteriously resigned from OSU in October. Both these guys are examples of how quickly coaches can run hot and cold on the market
