Badgers in Search of a Leader

+

Clearly, the squad has struggled out the gates. The 4-2 record is far from indicative of how poor this team has played to date. I believe many of the issues have stemmed from Bielema's lack of leadership. From firing the O-Line coach, to benching O'Brien, and then still keeping Stave on a tight leash with play-calling, Bielema has done little to instill the right environment for success to breed this season. For instance, if he makes the decision to essentially give up on O'Brien and his two years of eligibility, he must have the confidence in the guy thats replacing him to be able to, at a minimum, operate a two-minute drill. But, the leash has been tight when Stave has been under center, which seems to undermine the whole point in promoting him in the first place. I dive deeper into these issues here: http://wp.me/p29VCs-bH But, what do you think about Bielema's job so far?
