Right now, there are a number of major college football programs looking for head coaches. Everyone from Auburn to Boston College has a coaching vacancy right now. But, one of those vacancies just got filled—and you might be surprised to hear who filled it.

Yahoo! Sports writer Pat Forde just reported that Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema, who has led the Badgers to three straight Rose Bowl berths, is leaving Wisconsin to become the new head coach at Arkansas next season. He wants to coach the Badgers one last time in this season's Rose Bowl, but there's been no word yet about whether or not he'll be permitted to do that.

Expect an announcement about the shakeup to come as early as this afternoon.
