In 1990, Alvarez was named head coach of the Wisconsin Badgers. He rejuvenated the floundering program and eventually became the winningest coach in school history. During his tenure, the Badgers won three Big Ten championships and three Rose Bowl games.
Alvarez replaced Pat Richter as Athletic Director at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2004.
In 2000, Alvarez and his wife Cindy endowed a $250,000 football scholarship at the university. The book Don't Flinch is the autobiography of Alvarez' life, concluding with his selection of Bret Bielema as the head football coach to replace him.
