Success decades in building ultimately meets a New President/New AD wanting to establish their own era. They clean house and hey...we've seen this plenty times before and it rarely goes well. I have a bad feeling for Wisky.
The downfall began when they decided to go all in on Graham Mertz and its been clear since early last year that he is not the answer. Would love to see them take a look at other options before the end of this season.
I think you guys are spoiled sports, most middle teams would kill to always have above .500 seasons, and make a bowl every year. I laugh at how you think if you have under a .750 year that is a disaster. Almost as much as I'm in NY orker who dislikes the Yanks. Why? their attitude problem is just as bad as Wis. Yanks think like they are gods gift to mankind, and because they have the biggest budget they have to win by default. That's when i exclusively became a just Mets fan, because they are humble and try their hardest they don't expect to win as long as they give it their all and have fun! Oh and yes my cousin and her husband met in Madison, they are raising their two kids in Milwaukee now after they grad from U of Wi. I will also laugh when somebody takes down Ohio State. I'm glad that TN took down the goal posts and threw in TN River, when they eaked out a win against Alabama. Alabama is the Yanks in baseball. Ohio State also acts the same way. And yes my uncle's family in from Cleveland, and his youngest daughter lives in Cols, so go figure!
@@TheAdultContemporaryMusicCh thanks for telling us about your family tree. As badgers fans we don't expect to go 12-0 every year. We expect to win the Big Ten west, be in the big ten title game and actually put up a fight. Recruiting for Wisconsin is near impossible and that's why Gary Anderson left prior to Paul Chryst. We as a fan base were lucky JT decided come to UW over the likes of Yale and Harvard.
I don’t think this new coach was a great hire. And Wisconsin haven’t been RB U since Jonathan Taylor has left. They had have hood RB’s but not great like Jonathan Taylor, Jason White, Melvin Gordon, Montee Ball, Michael Bennett and the great Ron Dyne
While the on field performances dipped, it's the internal stuff with Chryst that frustrated Wisconsin fans. His recruiting department left and he didn't restaff it for 9 months. He also didn't adapt to NIL because he didn't care or believe in it. He just never adapted. As for on the field, in his last 25 games, he went 15-10. He was a good coach, but he refused to adapt and just wanted to coach the football that he knew, which was far outdated. He's a great guy, but definitely fell off fast. The new changes to college football sped up this process for Wisconsin
Maybe I’m a little biased because I’m a Washington Husky fan but after seeing this segment about coaches I have a suggestion. The rise and fall of ex-coach Jimmy Lake. After what appears to be a phenomenal career getting credit as a Defensive coordinator (you could make a video on its own of all the drafted defensive backs that have come from UW) he suffered the strangest flame out. He was able to learn from a great head coach Chris Petersen and I still don’t know what the hell happened during his tenure….The only thing I can say is Thank God he’s gone and Kalen DeBoer is in there lol. That’s why I said “be careful what you wish for Wisconsin, hiring your defensive coordinator”.
One thing that bothered me in this video, Chryst didn't get the job because Bielma left, but because Gary Anderson left. I know a lot of people forget about him because of how short and unsuccessful his tenure was. Anderson did produce a solid offense with Gordon and Stave
Paul Chryst is a good coach 🏈. He just lost his touch post COVID. In order to keep your job you must have a big win every year. In his case, he should have beaten at least one of the following schools on a yearly basis: Ohio State, Michigan, Iowa, Michigan State, Minnesota, Penn State ,etc.
I believe in the concept of stop competing and start differentiating. Hard work, getting better, and family atmosphere WILL NOT make your program a winner. These mantras,while good and true, are far from enough and are what fired coaches compete for. Stop out working, out improving, and out family atmosphereing the other teams. START OUTSCORING the other teams. All teams, Wisconsin included, need to stop competing and start innovating. Find a coach who gets this and you'll get to the top.
MD fan. You guys have always been a hard nosed tough brand of football. When we joined the B10, we aspire to be like you. Now we're hoping to beat you in 8 days. Let's have a good game.
As a Wisconsin fan... I love the guy as person, seems like a great dude who knows what it's like growing up as a Badger fan... BUT... he was shit, we wasted so many great teams that could've (and should've) done way better. The fact that JT never even made the playoff is tragic, hopefully we can find a new guy who doesn't run the same bland offense and is actually able to beat Ohio State. I guess we'll see but man, what a waste of potential his run was (still think he's a good guy tho)
The West division NEEDS to win a B1G Conference Championship, and it just won’t happen with “old school” football, and USC and UCLA have a better chance unless Wisconsin, North Western, and Iowa get out of the offensive schemes they run.
The program has taken a noticeable decline over the past couple of years, and it was clear Chryst was falling short of expectations in Madison. Hate to say it, but it was time for him to go.
The reason Gary Anderson left was because he was frustrated with Wisconsin high admissions for athletes so he couldn’t recruit like he wanted to. I think that what’s is going on in Wisconsin. While Ohio St, Michigan and Penn stay has left Wisconsin far as player quality. Maryland, Minnesota, Purdue and even Indiana has caught up with them.
@@toddhampton5513 yeah I thought so. I can understand somebody saying that about ND, Stanford, or Northwestern but Wisconsin? But I promise u that’s what he said. Look it up if u don’t believe me. But maybe that was just a excuse to head back to the West Coast. Maybe he was home sick
And I feel like a lot of B1G schools miss out on great players. I know I live in the Midwest. A lot of those players end up in the MAC or else where. Like it was this kid from Gary, IN last name Johnson he went to Kentucky now he plays for Miami (drafted by Houston) in the NFL. Another kid Ryan Neal went to Southern Illinois he’s now the starting CB for Seahawks. His brother went to Toledo. Wisconsin isn’t the only one missing out Purdue and Minn as well
The Big Ten as a conference has very high academic standards compared to the SEC, etc. However, within the Big Ten Wisconsin, Northwestern, and Purdue require even higher admission requirements than the rest of the Big Ten. It is an issue
He should’ve been gone 4 years ago. Looking at his overall win/loss record and concluding he’s a good coach is very surface level analysis. He took over a team that had an elite defense and an average offense. He’s an offensive guy who was supposed to elevate that side of the ball. Over his time the offense got worse and worse while the defense carried them through wins. On top of that, he had the benefit of playing in one of the worst power 5 divisions. If WI was in the east, they would struggle to get to .500. In his entire tenure, he had zero wins against OSU and PSU. Also only beat Michigan on their down years. Having Jonathan Taylor hid a lot of the team’s issues for 3 years, but as the roster became just his recruits, the talent became quite poor. His negligence to the recruiting department was a fireable offense on its own. There are so many hires WI could have made all those years ago that could’ve led to WI being a current CFB contender on a regular basis. Instead we got Chryst, who barely had a winning record against Minnesota and Illinois.
So immature.Stop comparing Badges to OSU and Alabama. Georgia too. They have zero academic integrity. Thw Red W will never be at that level.Cryst had no scandals, head case incidents, legit students, good people, and an over all solid winning record.Michigan rich alumni wanted coach tan pants gone,remember?The Irish went for the newist hot toy and they suck.The college football idiots are heading for a 24 member supper dupper conference, badgers will never be invited, neither will the school I was staff at,the U.S.M.A. West Point. I accept reality, only want the team to be as good as they can be, and win national titles in sports we are able to, namely Rugby and lacrosse.And Boxing where Army is 18th time returning national champ. Thats in a row.
Chryst is a good coach and great individual. But, as head coach, the issue has been energy on the sideline and repetitive issues such as penalties and turnovers and stale play calling. He also benched a Rose Bowl quarterback for Mertz who has been inconsistent.
I don't know what to say. He went 67 and 26. That is a lot of wins. News flash, every team is experiencing a talent gap with Ohio State. let's face it. There's bama, Ohio State and Georgia. Then there is all the other teams. U can't fire him cause he's not keeping up with Ohio State. No other team is.
it's weird idk maybe it's just me I feel like it was a rebuilding few years for Wisconsin they should have gave him more time. Paul did great his first how many years. should have gave him till 2024 or 2025. He is a good coach and I'm not even a Wisconsin fan lol.
I don’t quite understand firing a coach that won 72% of his games but he will land on his feet with $11 million in his pocket so it’s hard to feel too sorry for him
Chryst, great guy and did a lot for the program, but his time was up. Badgers need to head into a new direction to be competitive in the Big 10 especially with USC and UCLA joining the conference
Wisconsin, North Western, and Iowa have “typically” won the West division as of lately. These offensive schemes don’t win against the East division. It took me until this year, to come to terms with the B1G West division, is probably the weakest division Power 5. Sure, they get a lot of wins beating each other up, but take the game anywhere else, it doesn’t fare out well. Here in Iowa, we have ISSUES, and nepotism is front and center on this. There is NO where Brian Ferentz could take his failing tenure of offensive production as an OC anywhere but under his dad’s building of a family legacy.
Run run pass. Wisconsin's offense was too predictable. The offensive scheme was outdated and complicated for quarterbacks to learn. Recruiting has been a joke for 2 years as well.
Mertz is proof recruiting stars don’t always pan out. Of course they haven’t really helped by recruiting great receivers. Wisconsin is just a bit too old fashioned for the new fast pace style of football.
Paul was a great coach, however I think Covid and the events that took place after destroyed his career. Edit: 6-1 bowl record, winning in the Cotton bowl and Orange bowl only lose was at the Rose bowl, it think that speaks for itself.
You would not understand the UW unless you are around it. There is an almost Ivy League arrogance about what it means to be a student or administrator. In regards to sports and academia there is a belief not based in reality. Yes, Paul was a good guy with a good record but he no longer fit the image of the UW.
People expect admissions standards to be eased for sports? That should never happen . Let Ohio State continue to have the lowest admissions standards in the league. A University is about academics not TV entertainment for sports fans .
Wisconsin is like Nebraska who think they're a better program than what they are. Nebraska fired coaches who had good records( Pelini, Solich) because they thought they were better than 9-3 every year. Look at them now and that's what's gonna happen at Wisconsin. 5 stars aren't going to these programs
Badger fans would be happy with annual 9-3, but the past few years Chryst has slowly been getting worse. As soon as we started losing to Minnesota, the writing was on the wall.
You can't just hire your friends and buddy's for recruiting and coaches that don't have a lot of knowledge at the position you hired them for and expect to be competitive
Wisconsin did Paul Chryst wrong they're shouldn't fired him & Nebraska should've hired him but it's time for Paul Chryst, to go the NFL & the bad teams like the Bears,Chargers,Panthers,Colts,Giants,Jets,Commanders,Titans,Packers,should all interview him & go from there
That seems rather useless,if Chryst couldn't do it at Wisconsin how is it going to be any better at nebraska.right now I would rate Wisconsin football as head and shoulders above nebraska
@@michaelmerck7576 Chryst already knows the region and proved he can recruit in that area. He can get transfers likely that played under him at Wisconsin and he is a good coach so at Nebraska he might have a good chance to get some transfers/recruits (Nebraska is a way easier place than Wisconsin to recruit imo), he provides stability for a team that desperately needs it, he's also proved he can compete in the B10 West...
VERY SUCCESSFUL OVER THE YEARS, 9-4 LAST YEAR, BOWL GAMES - ALL THE TEAMS THAT BEAT THEM EXCEPT MSU, ARE SOLID TEAMS - YES WISCONSIN DID MAKE A MISTAKE AND THEY PROBALY WILL NOT WIN ANOTHER GAME THIS YEAR. EVERY TEAM THEY FACE FROM HERE OUT IS HIGHER RANKED AND BETTER ORGANIZED.
Higher ranked and better organized? Huh? This year doesn't much matter at this point, but won't know whether or not they made a mistake unless have access to a parallel universe where PC stays coach and we compare records.
How about what college coach in non-fbs is innovating a new approach to football and finding success as a topic? Chip Kelly merged hurry-up, zone read, and going on 4th down into combined innovation called the blur offense. For 5 seasons Oregon had no competition. INNOVATE!!!!!!!!!! What's next on the football landscape? More has-been re- treads tired coaches trying to out work the next clueless meat head. Or, is a coach out there using his head and innovating?????? Wise up. Good guys, players coaches, tough guys they all run out of juice. Be the scoring guy and keep your job. if you have no competition you never have to compete
I love that colleges have so much money that they can pay millions to buy out a contract. Hell, they've got more money coming in as long as Jack Ass Joe "cancels" student loans.
Along with a GIGANTIC deal for tv exposure. This will be the last year in AWHILE for Iowa to sellout seats preseason. Iowa is spiraling to the bottom of the division.
Im lucky enough to at least have one conversation with the coach. He was really friendly and he’ll talk about anything. This is a terrible move by Wisconsin.
their mistake was letting Barry Alvarez tower over the program as much as they did after he retired. That kept the program in the stone age schematically and in recruiting and it finally caught up to them. The chancellor is also an issue... With the new CFB format and landscape coming, wisconsin will be back to being an average CFB program with zero percent chance of ever contending for a national title or B10 Title and that's ok with the chancelor. Mediocrity so ingrained so deep in wisconsin athletics, the athletic department and their alumni have an inferiority complex because they all remember how bad everything was in the 70's and 80's that even making a bowl is still a victory to them, most of them still think the Rose Bowl matters when its not a CFB playoff game and it really is just another bowl game. Until those people pass on or are irrelevant wisconsin will sludge in mediocrity in most sports.
Ask Ohio state if the rose bowl is just another bowl game. They’ve built all of the success of this season on the momentum they garnered from that game with Utah
@@Jleed989 there is a huge different in recruiting approach from ohio state and wisconsin, its not even in the same arena. Ohio State doesn't give a crap about the rose bowl if its not a CFB playoff game. they had a number of players not even play in the rose bowl to prepare for the NFL draft... I'm sick of people talking about the rose bowl like it matters. it really doesn't unless its part of the playoff,

But, I do sense burn out. Lot of stops along the way and probably got there 10 years too late. Wish him well. Seemed like a good guy.
A lot of wins and exciting games but never a team that could compete for a championship. Excited to see if Fickell can take them to the next level.
Very logical decision
Great video, but Gary Andersen took over for Bret Bielema and it was after Gary left Wisconsin, Paul Chryst took over.
Luke Fickell was a good hire, hiring Longo as the OC is what they need for the offense and Mike Tressel will be a good DC

Chryst did not bench Coan. Jack got hurt.
If he comes to UAB we would love it.
The answer is no. Saved you 17 minutes.
They didn’t make a mistake at all just dude didn’t show up
He was never the right decision. It was an emotional hire because if his connection to the program. Great move by UW

I think Chryst is a decent coach, and was very successful initially, but I think Mertz is the real issue. Mertz is a massive bust as a recruit.
Or is it poor quarterback coaching?
VERY SUCCESSFUL OVER THE YEARS, 9-4 LAST YEAR, BOWL GAMES - ALL THE TEAMS THAT BEAT THEM EXCEPT MSU, ARE SOLID TEAMS - YES WISCONSIN DID MAKE A MISTAKE AND THEY PROBALY WILL NOT WIN ANOTHER GAME THIS YEAR. EVERY TEAM THEY FACE FROM HERE OUT IS HIGHER RANKED AND BETTER ORGANIZED.
Higher ranked and better organized? Huh? This year doesn't much matter at this point, but won't know whether or not they made a mistake unless have access to a parallel universe where PC stays coach and we compare records.
Chryst probably should have been let go a few years ago. He never had the fire to get his higher rated players to play harder.
His failure to get a qb that can play is more than enough to sack him .
I don't feel bad for them. They made 2-4 million a year. more than most have in their retirement accounts to last them through retirement.
Watch them hire Matt rhule after this
Short sighted decision. Mac is a terrible AD. The entire department is a dumpster fire.
How about what college coach in non-fbs is innovating a new approach to football and finding success as a topic? Chip Kelly merged hurry-up, zone read, and going on 4th down into combined innovation called the blur offense. For 5 seasons Oregon had no competition. INNOVATE!!!!!!!!!! What's next on the football landscape? More has-been re- treads tired coaches trying to out work the next clueless meat head. Or, is a coach out there using his head and innovating?????? Wise up. Good guys, players coaches, tough guys they all run out of juice. Be the scoring guy and keep your job. if you have no competition you never have to compete
They did not destroy Western Michigan, that game was close 😂
Go Broncos!
Sark at Texas Needs to be Out Also, 10-10
He got Arch to go there. Don’t be too hasty
@@Jleed989 What if the Odds in of Sons of HOFers in CFB. Especially QBs
Had to remind me of Voytik be transferred to Arkansas State, and was pure ass
I think they are in top tier in Big 10 but with this firing they risk dropping even more.
I love that colleges have so much money that they can pay millions to buy out a contract. Hell, they've got more money coming in as long as Jack Ass Joe "cancels" student loans.
Along with a GIGANTIC deal for tv exposure.
This will be the last year in AWHILE for Iowa to sellout seats preseason. Iowa is spiraling to the bottom of the division.
Yeah it was the wrong decision. It’s Wisconsin. Who are you gonna find that’s better?
the guy USC and Notre Dame got turned down by. Let me guess, youre a GA and AL fan collectively and "you" win a NC every year. get laid bro
Luke Fickell is definitely an upgrade. Wisconsin made the best decision in the history of the football program.
Im lucky enough to at least have one conversation with the coach. He was really friendly and he’ll talk about anything. This is a terrible move by Wisconsin.
Tragic?!?! Stop it.
They will regret the firing.
their mistake was letting Barry Alvarez tower over the program as much as they did after he retired. That kept the program in the stone age schematically and in recruiting and it finally caught up to them. The chancellor is also an issue... With the new CFB format and landscape coming, wisconsin will be back to being an average CFB program with zero percent chance of ever contending for a national title or B10 Title and that's ok with the chancelor. Mediocrity so ingrained so deep in wisconsin athletics, the athletic department and their alumni have an inferiority complex because they all remember how bad everything was in the 70's and 80's that even making a bowl is still a victory to them, most of them still think the Rose Bowl matters when its not a CFB playoff game and it really is just another bowl game. Until those people pass on or are irrelevant wisconsin will sludge in mediocrity in most sports.
Ask Ohio state if the rose bowl is just another bowl game. They’ve built all of the success of this season on the momentum they garnered from that game with Utah
@@Jleed989 there is a huge different in recruiting approach from ohio state and wisconsin, its not even in the same arena. Ohio State doesn't give a crap about the rose bowl if its not a CFB playoff game. they had a number of players not even play in the rose bowl to prepare for the NFL draft... I'm sick of people talking about the rose bowl like it matters. it really doesn't unless its part of the playoff,
going down the nebraska loophole to mediocrity
Beat me to it
Chryst brought the program down a peg
without a doubt they did.
