I don't think so.
1. Paul hitched his future to Graham Mertz and just... fucking lol at that shit.
2. They have consistently trended downhill the previous 2 years and look absolutely horrendous when the run game doesn't work.
3. Jim Leonhard is likely getting probing inquiries, and Chryst was likely adding nothing to the offense or recruiting. So Wisconsin maybe figures since Leonhard is kinda HC in waiting... give him a shot now and if he flames out so be it.
Dumb as hell, on its face. It should be obvious at this point (based on results at multiple schools) that the ascendant defensive coordinator thing is still a crapshoot. My understanding is that Wisconsin football is ugly this year, but the guy hadn’t had a losing season and won 10 or more games 4 of the previous 7 seasons. If there is nothing more behind the scenes, then this is an obvious case of lack of perspective.
Chryst getting fired is kind of insane lol
Oof, bet the rest of the season goes well
Also, lol at Wisconsin looking “absolutely horrendous when the run game doesn’t work.”
Wow, sounds like Wisconsin for the last 30+ years
trEndInG DoWN
he is 67-26 and 43-18 in league and is 2-1 in BCS games 6-1 in bowls and finished in the top 11 three of six seasons. it's a stupid firing by any metric. let's hear if he has stage 4 cancer.
Good hires would be:
Clawson (not happening)
Mendenhall
Lewis at Kent State
Mullen
Creighton at EMU
Who they will hire:
Some BUM
Hiring a uP aNd CoMiNG DC with 0 HC experience... What could go wrong?Hiring assistants with 0 HC experience at any level is basically just straight up gambling.
FWIW I dislike firing Chryst but Leonhard probably is getting interest... Wisconsin basically gets a free preview of Leonhard's coaching skills and can make a semi-informed decision now. But the B1G West is still wide open.... even after getting drubbed by Illinois every other team in the West is still only 1-1.
Which is weird right? Like it hints at their road trip to OSU bring more of a measuring stick? Which is just nonsense?
I think Alvarez, even though he isn't AD, had a huge hand in thus and didn't want to fall behind the West. Problem is there's no proof they were because the West is still pretty terrible and the only other team to win it multiple times(Northwestern) is like 4-16 since last season.
Chryst is literally the definition of the HARNOSED and don't get the CroOtZ coach just like a Leipold.Yeah but Leonhard is croots AND HARDNOSED D

Those guys suck a RiValZ rankings. But usually they are actually good at coaching football.
That's also been one of the biggest criticisms of Bielema at Illinois do far(which is dumb, because he's literally only been here for 1.5 seasons and Lovie didn't recruit except from the portal).
We have basically still 60-70 percent Lovie players and have the number 1 scoring defense in the country.
Some guys can just out coach their recruiting, though obviously recruiting is still important.

Auburn always has gr8 talent but has kind of been shitty outside of like 1 year in the past two decades entirely thanks to CAM. They are like Nebraska if Nebraska had 1 good year in the past two decades.
