re: Paul Chryst out as Wisconsin HC

Not a bad move. Yeah he won a lot but looking over the season results I'm struggling to find even one truly important win.

LSU and the two NY6 bowl wins were marquee but LSU was September OOC and both NY6 games came off of B10CG losses. We lost the one bowl game that I really would've liked to win (Rose vs Oregon). 0-3 in the B10CG. I think he had one other top ten win early in '16 against an MSU team that ended up being garbage. He fell flat against pretty much every other top team he faced. Michigan, PSU, and of course OSU over and over.

Wisconsin has a ceiling to be sure but at least Alvarez and Bielema beat OSU and won the conference every now and then. Chryst did neither.

Which... fine. If we're perennial gatekeepers to the truly elite teams of the B10, then fine. I guess.

But now we're losing games to Illinois and Minnesota. Losing OOC when that once wasn't a thing (Wisconsin went like 10 years or something without dropping an OOC game until LSU in Houston). And the recruiting budget is practically nil.

I love the dude and wish him well but I get the sense that we've seen what peak Chryst looks like in seven seasons, and it's a rung or two lower than where the program could be (and slipping). Time to try something new.
